  4. Memory Manager • Requirements • Minimize executable memory access time • Maximize executable memory size • Executable memory must be cost-effective • Today’s memory manager: • Allocates primary memory to processes • Maps process address space to primary memory • Minimizes access time using cost-effective memory configuration • May use static or dynamic techniques Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  5. Storage Hierarchies Less Frequently Used Information More Frequently Used Information Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  6. The Basic Memory Hierarchy CPU Registers Less Frequently Used Information Primary Memory (Executable Memory) e.g. RAM More Frequently Used Information Secondary Memory e.g. Disk or Tape Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  7. Contemporary Memory Hierarchy &Dynamic Loading CPU Registers Primary (Executable) L1 Cache Memory L2 Cache Memory “Main” Memory Larger storage Rotating Magnetic Memory Faster access Optical Memory Secondary Sequentially Accessed Memory Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  8. Exploiting the Hierarchy • Upward moves are (usually) copy operations • Require allocation in upper memory • Image exists in both higher & lower memories • Updates are first applied to upper memory • Downward move is (usually) destructive • Destroy image in upper memory • Update image in lower memory • Place frequently-used info high, infrequently-used info low in the hierarchy • Reconfigure as process changes phases Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  9. Background Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  10. Binding of instructions and Data to Memory Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  11. Address Binding CNTD • Source program references data and instructions using identifiers (e.g. variable names etc.) • Compiler translates source program into object module. • A collection of object modules is combined using a link editor to produce an absolute module. • Can compiler/linker generate physical addresses? • Actual physical addresses are not known yet. Why Not? • Link editor produce re-locatable code: all addresses are relative to memory address 0 ==> compile-time binding Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  12. Address Binding CNTD • When module is loaded in memory for executionthe loader, knowing where module is to be loaded in memory, can set the addresses at load time to produce the executable image of the module with physical addresses ==> load time binding • What if module is swapped out of memory? • Dynamic Binding: binding is delayed until execution time. At load time, each identifier is associated a relative address. Physical address is computed at execution time by hardware . Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  13. Address Space vs Primary Memory Hardware Primary Memory Process Address Space Mapped to object other than memory Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  14. Library code Other objects Secondary memory Link Edit Primary memory Loader Process address space • Link time: Combine elements • Load time: • Allocate primary memory • Adjust addresses in address space • Copy address space from secondary to primary memory Creating an Executable Program Source code C Reloc Object code • Compile time: Translate elements Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  15. A Sample Code Segment ... static int gVar; ... int proc_a(int arg){ ... gVar = 7; put_record(gVar); ... } Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  31. Dynamic Memory Allocation • Could use dynamically allocated memory • Process wants to change the size of its address space • Smaller  Creates an external fragment • Larger  May have to move/relocate the program • Allocate “holes” in memory according to • Best- /Worst- / First- /Next-fit Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  32. Dynamic Address Binding • All addresses to data and instructions are made relative to beginning of the module i.e. as if process address space starts at physical address 0. • Hardware provides a base register (also called a relocation register). • When process is switched to CPU the base register is loaded with the initial address of the module. • At run time: Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  33. + Dynamic Address Relocation CPU Relative Address 0x02010 0x12010 Relocation Register 0x10000 load R1, 0x02010 MAR • Program loaded at 0x10000  Relocation Register = 0x10000 • Program loaded at 0x04000  Relocation Register = 0x04000 We never have to change the load module addresses! Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  34. + Multiple Segment Relocation Registers CPU Relative Address 0x12010 Code Register Stack Register MAR Data Register Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  35. +  Runtime Bound Checking CPU Relative Address Relocation Register < Limit Register • Bound checking is inexpensive to add • Provides excellent memory protection MAR Interrupt Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  36. Special Case: Swapping • Special case of dynamic memory allocation • Suppose there is high demand for executable memory • Equitable policy might be to time-multiplex processes into the memory (also space-mux) • Means that process can have its address space unloaded when it still needs memory • Usually only happens when it is blocked Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  37. Swapping Image for pi Swap pi out Swap pj in Image for pj Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11

  40. Memory Mgmt Strategies • Fixed-Partition used only in batch systems • Variable-Partition used everywhere (except in virtual memory) • Swapping systems • Popularized in timesharing • Relies on dynamic address relocation • Now dated • Dynamic Loading (Virtual Memory) • Exploit the memory hierarchy • Paging -- mainstream in contemporary systems • Segmentation -- the future Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective, Chapter 11
