Address Spaces
Linear address space: Ordered set of contiguous non-negative integer
addresses:
{0, 1, 2, 3 }
Virtual address space: Set of N = 2n virtual addresses {0, 1, 2, 3, , N-1}
Physical address space: Set of M = 2m physical addresses {0, 1, 2, 3, , M-1}
Clean distinction between data (bytes) and their attributes (addresses)
Eachobjectcannowhavemultipleaddresses
Every byte in main memory:
one physical address, one (or more) virtual addresses

Why Virtual Memory (VM)? Uses main memory efficiently
Use DRAM as a cache for the parts of a virtual address space Simplifies memory management
Each process gets the same uniform linear address space
Isolates address spaces
One process cant interfere with anothers memory
User program cannot access privileged kernel information

Carnegie Mellon
VM as a Tool for Caching
Virtual memory is an array of N contiguous bytes stored on disk.
The contents of the array on disk are cached in physical memory (DRAM cache)
These cache blocks are called pages (size is P = 2p bytes)

Carnegie Mellon
DRAM Cache Organization
DRAM cache organization driven by the enormous miss penalty DRAM is about 10x slower than SRAM
Disk is about 10,000x slower than DRAM
Consequences
Large page (block) size: typically 4-8 KB, sometimes 4 MB Fully associative
Any VP can be placed in any PP
Requires a large mapping function different from CPU caches Highly sophisticated, expensive replacement algorithms
Too complicated and open-ended to be implemented in hardware Write-back rather than write-through
