RbMm RbMm Here is another Microsoft link, that might help clarify: Virtual Address Space When a processor reads or writes to a memory location, it uses a virtual address. It's also worthwhile to note the difference betwee kernel mode and user mode : User mode and kernel mode When you start a user-mode application, Windows creates a process for the application.
Windows Server was the first OS Microsoft released for bit only. Characteristics and of course it is not anachronism — RbMm. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.

A process can use the VirtualAlloc or VirtualAllocEx function to reserve pages of its address space and later to commit the reserved pages.
It can use VirtualFree or VirtualFreeEx to decommit committed pages and return them to the reserved state. Physical storage is allocated for the page, and access is controlled by a memory protection option. The system initializes and loads each committed page into physical memory only during the first attempt to read or write to that page. When the process terminates, the system releases the storage for committed pages. These functions can commit pages that are already committed.
Table 2. Scope of Allocated Memory. All memory a process allocates by using the memory allocation functions HeapAlloc , VirtualAlloc , GlobalAlloc , or LocalAlloc is accessible only to the process. To create shared memory, you must use file mapping. Named file mapping provides an easy way to create a block of shared memory.
A process can specify a name when it uses the CreateFileMapping function to create a file-mapping object. Other processes can specify the same name to either the CreateFileMapping or OpenFileMapping function to obtain a handle to the mapping object.
Each process specifies its handle to the file-mapping object in the MapViewOfFile function to map a view of the file into its own address space. The views of all processes for a single file-mapping object are mapped into the same sharable pages of physical storage. However, the virtual addresses of the mapped views can vary from one process to another, unless the MapViewOfFileEx function is used to map the view at a specified address.
Although sharable, the pages of physical storage used for a mapped file view are not global; they are not accessible to processes that have not mapped a view of the file. Any pages committed by mapping a view of a file are released when the last process with a view of the mapping object either terminates or unmaps its view by calling the UnmapViewOfFile function. At this time, the specified file if any associated with the mapping object is updated.
A specified file can also be forced to update by calling the FlushViewOfFile function. If multiple processes have write access to shared memory, you must synchronize access to the memory. Memory Protection. Memory that belongs to a process is implicitly protected by its private virtual address space. In addition, Windows provides memory protection using the virtual memory hardware. The implementation of this protection varies with the processor.
For example, code pages in the address space of a process can be marked read-only and protected from modification by user-mode threads. The following table lists the memory-protection options provided by Windows. You must specify one of the following values when allocating or protecting a page in memory. Enables execute access to the committed region of pages. By default, Windows calculates at boot time how many system PTEs to allocate based on the memory size.
This might be needed to support, for example, a device that requires a large number of system PTEs, such as a video card with MB of video memory that has to be mapped all at one time. The theoretical bit virtual address space is 16 exabytes 18,,,,,, bytes, or approximately Unlike on the x86 where the default address space is divided in two parts half for a process and half for the system , the bit address is divided into a number of different sized regions whose components match conceptually the portions of user, system, and session space.
The various sizes of these regions, listed in Table , represent current implementation limits that could easily be extended in future releases. The sizes on the bit x86 platform are included for comparison purposes. Clearly, bits provides a tremendous leap in terms of address space sizes. The detailed IA and x64 address space layouts vary slightly. The IA address space layout is shown in Figure , and the x64 address space layout is shown in Figure Previous page.

As part of the read or write operation, the processor translates the virtual address to a physical address.
A program can use a contiguous range of virtual addresses to access a large memory buffer that is not contiguous in physical memory.
A program can use a range of virtual addresses to access a memory buffer that is larger than the available physical memory. As the supply of physical memory becomes small, the memory manager saves pages of physical memory typically 4 kilobytes in size to a disk file.
Pages of data or code are moved between physical memory and the disk as needed. The virtual addresses used by different processes are isolated from each other.
The code in one process cannot alter the physical memory that is being used by another process or the operating system. The range of virtual addresses that is available to a process is called the virtual address space for the process. Each user-mode process has its own private virtual address space. A range of virtual addresses is sometimes called a range of virtual memory. For more info, see Memory and Address Space Limits. The diagram shows the virtual address spaces for two bit processes: Notepad.
Each shaded block represents one page 4 kilobytes in size of virtual or physical memory. Notice that the Notepad process uses three contiguous pages of virtual addresses, starting at 0x7F7'
