  2. Memory-mapped file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_file

    A memory-mapped file is a segment of virtual memory [1] that has been assigned a direct byte-for-byte correlation with some portion of a file or file-like resource. This resource is typically a file that is physically present on disk, but can also be a device, shared memory object, or other resource that an operating system can reference through a file descriptor.

  3. mmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmap

    The main difference between System V shared memory (shmem) and memory mapped I/O (mmap) is that System V shared memory is persistent: unless explicitly removed by a process, it is kept in memory and remains available until the system is shut down. mmap'd memory is not persistent between application executions (unless it is backed by a file).

  4. Virtual Storage Access Method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_storage_access_method

    Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) [1] is an IBM direct-access storage device (DASD) file storage access method, first used in the OS/VS1, OS/VS2 Release 1 (SVS) and Release 2 (MVS) operating systems, later used throughout the Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) architecture and now in z/OS.

  5. Memory map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_map

    In computer science, a memory map is a structure of data (which usually resides in memory itself) that indicates how memory is laid out. The term "memory map" has different meanings in different contexts. It is the fastest and most flexible cache organization that uses an associative memory. The associative memory stores both the address and ...

  6. Memory mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_mapping

    Memory-mapped I/O, an alternative to port I/O; a communication between CPU and peripheral device using the same instructions, and same bus, as between CPU and memory; Virtual memory, technique which gives an application program the impression that it has contiguous working memory, while in fact it is physically fragmented and may even overflow ...

  7. Identity and access management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_and_Access_Management

    Identity management (ID management) – or identity and access management (IAM) – is the organizational and technical processes for first registering and authorizing access rights in the configuration phase, and then in the operation phase for identifying, authenticating and controlling individuals or groups of people to have access to applications, systems or networks based on previously ...

  8. Page table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_table

    A similar mechanism is used for memory-mapped files, which are mapped to virtual memory and loaded to physical memory on demand. When physical memory is not full this is a simple operation; the page is written back into physical memory, the page table and TLB are updated, and the instruction is restarted.
