Virtual memory/storage
This refers to the computer arrangement whereby the computer divides programs into fixed or
variable length portions, storing only a small portion of the program in primary memory (RAM)
at one time. Only a few statements of a program actually execute at any given moment.
Virtual storage thus permits a very large number of programs to reside in primary memory
because only a tiny portion of each program is actually located there thus resulting in efficient
RAM usage. All other program pages are stored on a peripheral disk unit until they are ready for
execution.
