Unit 2 AS4: Storage Management
Efficient and orderly control of storage allocation is important in memory management. There are five storage management responsibilities for a typical operating system: Process Isolation, Automatic Allocation and Management, Modular Programming Support, Long-Term Storage, and Protection and Access Control.
Process Isolation. The Operating System must keep independent processes from interfering with other processes’ resources.
Automatic Allocation and Management. Automatic Allocation and the management of memory increases memory efficiency by allocating system memory to programs as needed.
Modular Programming Support. Modular Programming Support allows programmers to define program modules. It also allows
