From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   memory management
  
      A collection of techniques for
      providing sufficient memory to one or more processes in a
      computer system, especially when the system does not have
      enough memory to satisfy all processes' requirements
      simultaneously.   Techniques include {swapping}, {paging} and
      {virtual memory}.   Memory management is usually performed
      mostly by a {hardware} {memory management unit}.
  
      (1995-01-23)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Memory Management Unit
  
      (MMU, "Paged Memory Management
      Unit", PMMU) A {hardware} device or circuit that supports
      {virtual memory} and {paging} by translating {virtual
      addresses} into {physical addresses}.
  
      The virtual {address space} (the range of addresses used by
      the processor) is divided into {pages}, whose size is 2^N,
      usually a few {kilobytes}.   The bottom N {bit}s of the address
      (the offset within a page) are left unchanged.   The upper
      address bits are the (virtual) {page number}.   The MMU
      contains a {page table} which is indexed (possibly
      associatively) by the page number.   Each page table entry
      (PTE) gives the physical page number corresponding to the
      virtual one.   This is combined with the page offset to give
      the complete physical address.
  
      A PTE may also include information about whether the page has
      been written to, when it was last used (for a {least recently
      used} {replacement algorithm}), what kind of processes ({user
      mode}, {supervisor mode}) may read and write it, and whether
      it should be {cache}d.
  
      It is possible that no physical memory ({RAM}) has been
      allocated to a given virtual page, in which case the MMU will
      signal a "{page fault}" to the {CPU}.   The {operating system}
      will then try to find a spare page of RAM and set up a new PTE
      to map it to the requested virtual address.   If no RAM is free
      it may be necessary to choose an existing page, using some
      {replacement algorithm}, and save it to disk (this is known as
      "{paging}").   There may also be a shortage of PTEs, in which
      case the OS will have to free one for the new mapping.
  
      In a {multitasking} system all processes compete for the use
      of memory and of the MMU.   Some {memory management}
      architectures allow each process to have its own area or
      configuration of the page table, with a mechanism to switch
      between different mappings on a process switch.   This means
      that all processes can have the same virtual address space
      rather than require load-time relocation.
  
      An MMU also solves the problem of {fragmentation} of memory.
      After blocks of memory have been allocated and freed, the free
      memory may become fragmented (discontinuous) so that the
      largest contiguous block of free memory may be much smaller
      than the total amount.   With {virtual memory}, a contiguous
      range of virtual addresses can be mapped to several
      non-contiguous blocks of physical memory.
  
      In early designs memory management was performed by a separate
      {integrated circuit} such as the {MC 68851} used with the
      {Motorola 68020} {CPU} in the {Macintosh II} or the {Z8015}
      used with the {Zilog Z80} family of processors.   Later CPUs
      such as the {Motorola 68030} and the {ZILOG Z280} have MMUs on
      the same IC as the CPU.
  
      (1999-05-24)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   memory mapped I/O
  
      The use of the same instructions and {bus} to
      communicate with both {main memory} and {input/output}
      devices.   This is in contrast to processors that have a
      separate I/O {bus} and special instructions to access it.
  
      The I/O devices are addressed at certain reserved address
      ranges on the main memory bus.   These addresses cannot
      therefore be used for {RAM}.   {Motorola} and {Mostec}
      architectures, among others, use memory mapped I/O.
  
      {Video cards} and other cards with on-board memory might be
      accessed in this way though the term applies not just to
      devices containing memory but to any device connected to the
      memory bus.   Accessing the devices usually consists of reading
      and writing certain built-in {registers} though sometimes the
      mere presence of a particular address can trigger the device.
