Description

This project is an implementation of Virtual Memory for an operating system. Virtual memory is a crucial component of modern operating systems that enables efficient utilization of system resources and allows processes to run smoothly even when physical memory is limited.

The implementation encompasses various key aspects of virtual memory, including page tables, page fault handling, demand paging, and page replacement algorithms. By simulating the behavior of virtual memory, this project aims to provide an understanding of how operating systems manage memory in a virtualized environment. More Information

Features

  • Virtual Memory mapping and translation
  • Page Table Management
  • Using Page Replacement Algorithms
  • Implementation of Memory Management
  • Demand Paging and Page Fault Handling
  • Memory Allocation and Deallocation
  • Efficient Memory Access

In order to better understand the performance of the Ypage representation algorithms, we have discussed them together:

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to provide a practical understanding of virtual memory management in operating systems. By exploring different components of virtual memory and examining their behavior through simulations, the project aims to enhance knowledge of memory management techniques and the challenges involved in efficiently utilizing system resources.
