A memory address that is usable by software. Each task has its own range of virtual addresses, which begins at address zero. The Mach operating system makes the CPU hardware map these addresses onto physical memory only when necessary, using disk memory at other times.
An imaginary address used internally to the CPU which is translated by the MMU into a physical address for external access.
the address generated by the processor in a paging (virtual memory) system. [SILC99
An address used by a program to access data or instructions. The V-Class server maps each virtual address to physical memory location.
an address that is mapped by the memory management unit (MMU) to a physical hardware address
A location in memory as it appears in a program. For example, a[10] is the virtual address of element 10 of the array . Internally, the virtual address is translated into the computer's physical address.
An intermediate address used to translate an effective address into a physical address. It consists of a process ID and the effective address. It is only used when address translation is enabled.
The address of a location in virtual storage.
In a virtual memory system, the address the application uses to reference memory. The kernel and the memory management unit (MMU) translate this address into a physical address before the memory is actually read or written. See also: virtual memory
n. In a virtual memory system, the address the application uses to reference memory. The memory management unit (MMU) translates this address into a physical address before the memory is actually read or written to. See also physical address, virtual memory. Compare real address.
(1) (n.) A 16-bit integer that identifies a byte “location†in virtual address space. The memory management unit translates the virtual address into a physical address.(2) (n.) The address that identifies a virtual block on a mass-storage device.
This term is most often used when describing service redirection, and refers to an additional IP address that is assigned to the firewall's outside NIC through host routes on the Internet router (not through the network control panel on the firewall, as Raptor Firewall does not support this).
