Back to all Linux questions

Q7

What is virtual memory?

💬Answer

An abstraction layer that gives each process the illusion of having a large, contiguous block of memory. The hardware Memory Management Unit (MMU) translates these virtual addresses to actual non-contiguous physical addresses in RAM or swap partitions.
