Memory Management
The OS is responsible for the following activities in
connection with memory management:
• Keep track of which parts of memory are currently
being used and by whom.
• Decide which processes are to be loaded into
memory when memory space becomes available.
• Allocate and deallocate memory space as needed.

Memory Management
Memory can be classified into two categories:
• Primary memory
(cache, RAM)
• Secondary memory
(magnetic disk, disk, etc.)
Memory Manager :- The part of OS that perform memory
management.

Overlays
The entire program or application is divided into
instructions and data sets such that when one instruction
set is needed it is loaded in memory and after its execution
is over, the space is released.
A program based on overlay scheme mainly consists of:
• A “root” piece which is always memory resident
• Set of overlays

Swapping
Swapping is an approach for memory management by
bringing each process in entirely, running it and then
putting it back on the disk, so that another program may be
loaded into that space.
Lower priority user processes are swapped to disk when
they are waiting for I/O or some other event like arrival of
higher priority processes.
This is Roll-out Swapping.

Swapping the process back into store when some event
occurs or when needed is known as Roll-in Swapping.

Contiguous Memory Allocation
The main memory must accommodate both the OS and the
various user processes.
The main memory is usually divided into two partitions:
one for the resident OS, and one for the user processes.
Usually OS will be in the low memory.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
Single-Partition System
The OS will be in the lower part of the memory and other
user processes in the upper part.
Protecting the OS from user processes and protecting user
processes from one another with use of Relocation Register
and Limit Register.
The relocation-register scheme provides an effective way to
allow the OS size to change dynamically.

Multiple-Partition System
Dividing the memory into several partitions. In multiplepartition method, when a partition is free, a process is
selected from the input queue and is loaded into the free
partition. When the process terminates, the partition
becomes available for another process.
Available memory is called hole.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
Multiple-Partition System: Fixed-sized partition
This is known as static
partitioning.
Divide memory into n (possibly unequal) fixed sized
partitions, each of which can hold exactly one process. The
degree of multiprogramming is dependent on the number of
partitions.
Wastage of memory within partitions is known as
Internal Fragmentation.

This is also known as dynamic
partitioning.
Partition boundaries are not fixed. Process accommodate
memory according to their requirement. There is no
wastage as partition size is exactly same as the size of the
user process.
Wastage of memory which is external to partition is known
as external
fragmentation.

PAGING
Paging is a memory-management scheme that permits the physicaladdress space of a process to be noncontiguous.
In paging, the physical memory is divided into fixed-sized blocks
called page frames and logical memory is also divided into fixedsize blocks called pages which are of same size as that of page
frames.
When a process is to be executed, its pages can be loaded into any
unallocated frames (not necessarily contiguous) from the disk.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
PAGING
When the CPU generates a logical address, it is divided into two
parts:
•
A page number (p) [high-order bits] and
•
A page offset (d) [low-order bits]
Where d specifies the address of the instruction within the page p.
Since the logical address is a power of 2, the page size is always
chosen as a power of 2 so that the logical address can be converted
easily into page number and page offset.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
PAGING
Consider the size of logical address space is 2m. Now, if we choose
a page size of 2n., then n bits will specify the page offset and m-n
bits will specify the page number.
Consider a system that generates logical address of 16 bits and page
size is 4 KB. How many bits would specify the page number and
page offset?
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
PAGING
Logical address = 16 bits
Therefore, the size of logical address space = 216 bytes
Page size = 4 KB = 4 x 1024 bytes = 212 bytes
Thus, Page offset = 12 bits
Page Number = 16 – 12 = 4 bits
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
PAGING
How a logical address is translated into a physical address:
In paging, address translation is performed using a mapping table,
called Page Table. The operating system maintains a page table for
each process to keep track of which page frame is allocated to
which page. It stores the frame number allocated to each page and
the page number is used as index to the page table.

Since, total number of pages=8, that is, 23 and each page
size=8KB, that is, 213 bytes, the logical address will be of 16
bits. Out of these 16 bits, the three high-end order bits represent
the page number and the 13 low-end order bits represent offset
within the page. In addition, there are 16, 24 page frames in
memory, thus the physical address will be of 17 bits.

Given logical address = 18325 which is = 0100011110010101.
Page number = 010 = 2; Page offset = 0011110010101.
From page table page number 2 is in page frame 1011.
Therefore, physical address = 10110011110010101 = 92053.

Hardware Implementation of Page Table
A page table can be implemented in several ways. The simplest
way is to use registers to store the page table entries indexed by
page number. Though this method is faster and does not require
any memory reference, its disadvantage is that it is not feasible
in case of large page table as registers are expensive. Moreover,
in context switching all the registers to be changed and reloaded.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
Hardware Implementation of Page Table
Alternatively, keep the entire page table in main memory and
the pointer to page table stored in a register called Page Table
Base Register (PTBR). Using this method, page table can be
changed by reloading only one register, thus reduces context
switch time. The disadvantage of this scheme is that it requires
two memory references to access a memory location.
•
To access page table using PTBR to find the page frame
number.
•
To access the desired memory location.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
Hardware Implementation of Page Table
This can be solved with the use of a special hardware device
called Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB). The TLB is
inside MMU and contains a limited number of page table
entries. When CPU generates a logical address and presents it to
the MMU, it is compared with the page numbers present in the
TLB. If a match is found in TLB (called TLB hit), the
corresponding page frame number is used to access the physical
memory.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
Hardware Implementation of Page Table
In case a match is not found in TLB (called TLB miss),
memory is referenced for the page table. Further, this page
number and the corresponding frame number are added to the
TLB so that next time if this page is required, it can be
referenced quickly. Since the size of TLB is limited so when it
is full, one entry needs to be replaced.

Hardware Implementation of Page Table
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
Hardware Implementation of Page Table
TLB can contain entries for more than one process at the same
time, so there is a possibility that two processes map the same page
number to different frames.
To resolve this ambiguity, a process identifier (PID) can be added
with each entry of TLB. For each memory access, the PID present
in the TLB is matched with the value in a special register that holds
the PID of the currently executing process.
If it matches, the page number is searched to find the page frame
number, otherwise it is treated as a TLB miss.

Segmentation
A user views a program as a collection of
segments such as main program, routines,
variables and so on. All of these segments
are variable in size. Each segment is
identified by a name called Segment
Number and the elements within a
segment are identified by their Offset from
the starting of the segment.

SOCSAMS e-learning
Segmentation
Segmentation is a memory management scheme that implements
the user view of a program. In this scheme, the entire logical
address space is considered as collection of segments with each
segment having a number and a length.
The user specifies each logical address consisting of a segment
number (s) and an offset (d). This differentiate segmentation
from paging.
Dept. of Computer Applications, MES College Marampally
SOCSAMS e-learning
Segmentation
To keep track of each segment, a segment table is
maintained by the operating system. Each entry in the
segment table consists of two fields: Segment Base and
Segment Limit.

When CPU generates a logical address, that address is sent to
MMU. The MMU uses the segment number of logical address as
an index to the segment table.
The offset is compared with the segment limit and if it is greater,
invalid-address error is generated.
Otherwise, the offset is added to the segment base to form the
physical address.

Segmentation with Paging
The idea behind the segmentation with paging is to combine the
advantage of both paging and segmentation together into a single
scheme.
In this scheme, each segment is divided into a number of pages. To
keep track of these pages, a page table is maintained for each
segment.

Segmentation with Paging
The segment offset in the logical address is further divided into a
page number and a page offset. Each entry of the segment table
contains the segment limit and page table base.

Segmentation with Paging
MMU uses the segment number as an index to segment table to
find the address of page table. Then the page number of the logical
address is attached to the high-order end of the page table address
and used as an index to page table to find the page table entry.
Finally, the physical address is formed by attaching the frame
number obtained from the page table entry to the high-order end of
the page offset.
