Analyze how a modern operating system translates 32-bit and 64-bit virtual addresses to physical addresses on the same machine.
Most operating systems use a virtual memory manager (VMM) whose responsibility is to manage the
relationship between the virtual organization of memory as seen by an application with the physical
organization of memory from the operating system’s point of view. Virtual memory addresses must be
mapped to physical address and vice versa.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Differentiate between virtual memory and physical memory.
2. Evaluate the benefits gained by running applications when the operating system uses a virtual
memory manager.
3. Analyze how virtual memory addresses get translated into physical addresses.
4. Analyze how a modern operating system translates 32-bit and 64-bit virtual addresses to physical
addresses on the same machine.
5. Create a relationship diagram, using MS Visio or Dia, depicting the relationship between virtual
addresses to physical addresses. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the
6. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites
do not qualify as quality resources.
