Memory
references are dynamically translated into
|
|
|
physical
addresses at run time
|
|
|
|
u |
a process may be
swapped in and out of main
|
|
|
memory such that
it occupies different regions
|
|
|
| n |
A process may
be broken up into pieces (pages or
|
|
|
segments) that
do not need to be located
|
|
|
contiguously
in main memory
|
|
|
| n |
Hence: all pieces of a process do not need to
be
|
|
|
loaded
in main memory during execution
|
|
|
|
u |
computation may
proceed for some time if the next
|
|
|
instruction to
be fetch (or the next data to be accessed) is
|
|
|
in a piece
located in main memory
