Chapter 11 Morello- Memory addressing and management


Memory management is an important part of any computer system.  As I was doing the research for this blog post, I came across different links for memory management in both android and iphones.  I also came across a link for memory management in a 386 architecture, dated 1989.  This tells me that memory management is vital in computing, and has been for a very long time. I decided to keep it simple. The page I decided to write on comes from stackoverflow.com.  It is a question and answer sequence, like yahoo answers, and it has a couple of different answers to different questions about memory addressing.  I thought it shed some light on some of the concepts, and unwrapped some concepts nicely.  One of the replies mentions the MMU, (Memory Management Unit), which I saw in other places while doing research for the blog post.  You can see the questions and answers at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10185276/memory-addressing-in-assembly-multitasking
