Memory management is part of the operating system responsible for the administration of memory. In this chapter we discuss several techniques to manage memory. These techniques vary from a primitive bare-machine approach to paging and segmentation techniques. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages. The selection of the most appropriate technique for memory management depends on many factors, especially on the hardware design of the system. As we shall discuss, many techniques require hardware support, although recent designs have closely integrated the hardware and operating system.
