![]() For example, there are virtual memory limits that apply to individual processes that run applications, the operating system, and for the system as a whole. While virtual memory has limits that are related to physical memory limits, virtual memory has limits that derive from different sources and that are different depending on the consumer. The major advantage of virtual memory is that it allows more processes to execute concurrently than might otherwise fit in physical memory. Virtual memory separates a program’s view of memory from the system’s physical memory, so an operating system decides when and if to store the program’s code and data in physical memory and when to store it in a file. This time I’m turning my attention to another fundamental resource, virtual memory.

Here’s the index of the entire Pushing the Limits series. , I discussed physical memory limits, including the limits imposed by licensing, implementation, and driver compatibility.
