Part 1

Memory Management and Virtual Memory

In this assignment, you will study memory management, virtual memory of OSs, and distributed OSs.

Using Online Library or the Internet, research memory management, virtual memory of OSs, and distributed OSs.

Based on your research, discuss the following topics:

• The concept of virtual memory is based on the fact that some parts of a software application are never accessed.
  • Identify and explain the parts of software applications that are never accessed. State your opinion on why these parts are never accessed.
• The size of the virtual memory should not be more than three times the size of the physical memory of the computer.
  • Do you agree with this statement? Provide reasons for your answer.
• Distributed OSs use memory more efficiently than traditional OSs.
  • Do you agree with this statement? Present examples in support of your answer.
• Compare the memory management capabilities of the Windows Server and Linux OSs.
  • In addition, identify the OS with better memory management capabilities than the rest.

  Part 2

• Memory Management and Virtual Memory

• Continuing with the course project, this week, you will study how various OSs perform memory management and provide support for virtual memory. TasksUsing Online Library or the Internet, research memory management, virtual memory of OSs, deadlock modeling, and distributed OSs. Based on your research, complete the following tasks:
  • For the scenario at Acme Toys Inc. described in Week 1, read the requirements again. In the Microsoft Word document from W3 Project, to your analysis of OSs (three OSs for workstations and servers), add to the discussion with regard to memory management, virtual memory, deadlock modeling, and distributed OSs. Support your analysis with reasons.
  • For each listed OS, discuss the requirements for size of virtual and physical memories.
