Virtual Memory Management

Reflect

This discussion centers around virtual memory management.  The key to using memory most efficiently is virtual memory management. For this discussion I would like you to:

• Explore how the OS you chose to “support” in M1D2 Assess OS and Picking a Support Sites implements virtual memory.
  • Indicate how it handles page faults, working sets, and page sizes and reconciles thrashing issues.
  • Be sure to cite your sources.

A Frequently Asked Question with this assignment is: “Do I have to use the OS I chose for the support site question?” I think it’s easier if you do, but if you choose otherwise, please make that clear in your submission.

Discussion Instructions

All original Discussion Threads need to be posted by the middle of the second week of the module and ideally review the postings of at least two of your classmates and provide feedback on the content by the end of the module.  Your submission should be substantial (250 words or more), properly formatted, grammatically correct, and free of spelling errors.

My hope is that our discussions would mimic those that would take place in an actual classroom. When posting your thoughts, you want to encourage feedback and involve your classmates as much as possible. Please refrain from sharing unsubstantiated personal opinions not based upon fact and/or experience. In the end, we want to be responding and feeding off each others postings. For further explanation please see the Discussion Rubric.
