a memory management concept
an isolated, protected chunk of memory that can be used to run NLMs which are isolated from the core operating system
a set of memory locations from zero to some limit
a set of virtual address segments
a collection of ranges of virtual memory locations with specific memory access rights
An area of a computer's memory, within which the addresses of memory locations are contiguous and may refer to one another directly. A shared memory computer has a single, global address space; a distributed memory computer has a separate, local address space on each processing element.
The range of memory locations that available to a computer program.
The code, stack, and data that is accessible by a process.
(1) The range of addresses available to a computer program. ANSI. (2) The complete range of addresses that are available to a programmer. (3) The area of virtual storage available for a particular job. (4) In the AIX operating system, the code, stack, and data that can be accessed by a process. IBM.
n. The total range of memory locations addressable by a computer.
A range of memory addresses available to an application program.
(n.) A region of a computer's total memory within which addresses are contiguous and may refer to one another directly. A shared memory computer has only one user-visible address space; a disjoint memory computer can have several.
In computing, an address space defines a range of discrete addresses, each of which may correspond to a physical or virtual memory register, a network host, peripheral device, disk sector or other logical or physical entity.
