Memory management: Difference between revisions

Having an individual virtual-to-physical mapping for each address is of course ineffective. The traditional approach to virtual memory is to split up the available physical memory into chunks (pages), and to map virtual to physical addresses ''page-wise''. This task is largely handled by the [[MMU]], so the performance impact is low, and generally accepted as an appropriate price to pay for memory protection.
