	MEMORY MANAGEMENT
		An address generated by the CPU is commonly referred to as a logical address, whereas an address seen by the memory unit (that is, the one loaded into the memory address register of the memory) is commonly referred to as physical address.
		Because it is desirable, in general, that there be several user processes residing in memory at the same time, we need to consider the problem of how to allocate available memory to the various processes that are in the input queue waiting to be brought into memory.
		Memory is allocated to the processes until, finally, the memory requirements of the next process cannot be satisfied; no available block of memory (hole) is large enough to hold that process.

		The simplest memory allocation is to have several fixed memory partitions and allocate a process to each one.
		Some portion of memory is set aside as allocable to processes, and data structures in the address space permanently allocated to the OS are used to keep track of it.
		One way to keep track of allocable memory is to divide it into fixed size allocation units and use a bitmap to keep track of the allocated and unallocated areas.
