Logical Address & Physical Address

Logical Address (Virtual Address)

Address generated by CPU while a program is running is referred as Logical Address.

  • The logical address is a virtual address and can be viewed by the user.

  • The logical address is used like a reference, to access the physical address.

  • The logical address is mapped to its corresponding physical address by a hardware device called Memory-Management Unit (MMU).

  • The logical address must be mapped to the physical address before they are used.

  • MMU also uses logical address computing physical address.

Psyical Address

Physical Address identifies a physical location in a memory.

  • The user can’t view the physical address directly.

Differences between Logical Address and Psyical Address

The fundamental difference between logical and physical address is that :
logical address is generated by CPU during a program execution
physical address refers to a location in the memory unit

Write a program to simulate a process of translation from a logical address to physical address. Assumptions 1. Assume the file la.txt includes the sequence of generated addresses from CPU. 2. Use a part of memory as backing store that store data for a process. 3. The backing store size is 128 bytes 4. The size of process p is 128 bytes. 5. The contents of p is included in a file pdata.bin which is a binary file. 6. Use a part of memory as RAM. The size of physical memory is 256 bytes, from 0 to 255. All the physical memory is available, allocating starting from beginning in sequence. That is, allocate frame 0 first, then frame 1, then frame 2…. 7. The size of a frame is 32 bytes, i.e., 5 bits for the offset in a frame, total number of frames is 8. 8. At beginning, no page table is available for process p. Requirements Write a program to 1. Setup a simulating backing store in memory. Read the data from pdata.bin to this backing store. 2. Initialize a page table for process p, set the frame number to be -1 for each page, indicating that the page is not loaded into memory yet. 3. Read logical addresses one by one from la.txt. 4. For each logical address, a) if its page has been loaded into physical memory, simply find the frame number in the page table, then generate physical address, find and print out the physical address and data inside this address. b) if the page is used for the first time, i.e., in page table, its frame number is -1,then the page that contains this address should be loaded into a free frame in physical memory (RAM). Then update the page table by adding the frame number to the right index in the page table. Then repeat 4a). Refer to Figure 1 for the relationships and how physical memory, backing store, and CPU are simulated.一个c文件
