It is understood that memory functions as two or more systems; but when these systems emerge

MEMORY MANAGEMENT Research Paper ABSTRACT: To manage the contents of the processor’s memory and storage‚ memory management is used. To use applications and data‚ first‚ it should be brought to memory. Memory use also increases as workload on system increases.
