- virtual memory
- Method of using hard disk space to provide extra memory Simulates additional RAM In Windows, the amount of virtual memory available equals the amount of free RAM plus the amount of disk space allocated to the swap file In Macintosh System 7, virtual memory is controlled in the Memory Control Panel The default setting is twice the amount of RAM in the machine However, the amount of RAM plus the amount of virtual memory TOGETHER is the amount of disk space you must allocate For example, if you have 4 MB of RAM and set virtual memory at 8 MB, 12 MB of disk space is allocated
- virtual memory
- A technique in which a large memory space is simulated with a small amount of RAM, a disk, and special paging hardware For example, a virtual 1 megabyte address space can be simulated with 64K of RAM, a 2 megabyte disk, and paging hardware The paging hardware translates all memory accesses through a page table If the page that contains the memory access is not loaded into memory a fault is generated which results in the least used page being written to disk and the desired page being read from disk and loaded into memory over the least used page
- virtual memory
- A sneaky trick by which Unix pretends to have more memory than it really does When you are not looking, Unix copies information from memory to the disk to free up space in memory When you need the information on disk, Unix copies it from the disk back into memory Virtual memory is generally invisible, except when a program uses it too enthusiastically; then the computer spends all its time copying stuff back and forth to the disk and no time doing useful work, a condition called thrashing
- virtual memory
- The address space available to a process running in a system with a memory management unit (MMU) The virtual address space is usually divided into pages of 2 bytes The bottom n address bits (the offset within a page) are left unchanged and the upper bits give a (virtual) page number which is mapped by the memory management unit to a physical page number Virtual memory is usually much larger than physical memory Paging allows the excess to be stored on disk and copied to RAM as needed, so that programs can be run whose memory requirements for code and data together exceed the amount of RAM available Performance depends strongly on how a program's memory access pattern interacts with the paging scheme
- virtual memory

- virtual reality
- Virtual reality is an environment which is produced by a computer and seems very like reality to the person experiencing it. A computer simulation of a real or imaginary system that enables a user to perform operations on the simulated system and shows the effects in real time. an environment produced by a computer that looks and seems real to the person experiencing it. Use of computer modeling and simulation to enable a person to interact with an artificial three-dimensional visual or other sensory environment. A computer-generated environment simulates reality by means of interactive devices that send and receive information and are worn as goggles, headsets, gloves, or body suits. The illusion of being in the created environment (telepresence) is accomplished by motion sensors that pick up the user's movements and adjust his or her view accordingly, usually in real time. The basis of the technology emerged in the 1960s in simulators that taught how to fly planes, drive tanks, shoot artillery, and generally perform in combat. It came of commercial age in the 1980s and is now used in games, exhibits, and aerospace simulators. It has potential for use in many fields, including entertainment, medicine and biotechnology, engineering, design, and marketing

- An interactive, computer-generated simulated environment with which users can interact using specialized peripherals such as data gloves and head-mounted computer-graphic displays
- virtual reality
- a hypothetical three-dimensional visual world created by a computer; user wears special goggles and fiber optic gloves etc
- virtual reality
- A computer simulation that closely resembles reality
- virtual reality
- The use of interactive computer generated multimedia to create a simulated electronic environment
- virtual reality
- The use of specialized computers, software, and other gear to construct computer-generated environments A user wears a headset that blocks out vision of the physical world and projects these computer-generated environments onto a screen near the eyes He also uses a computer-connected "glove" or other hand-held device to manipulate the images in the virtual environment Virtual reality is now transitioning from experimental applications to applications in business, health care, and mass entertainment
- virtual reality
- A human-computer interface in which the computer creates a sensory-immersing environment that interactively responds to and is controlled by the behavior of the user
- virtual reality
- Computer simulated environment within which humans are able to interact in some manner that approximates interactions in the physical world
- virtual storage
- A conceptual form of main storage which does not really exist, but is made to appear as though it exists through the use of hardware and software programming
- virtual storage
- The storage space that may be regarded as addressable main storage by the user of a computer system in which virtual addresses are mapped into real addresses The size of virtual storage is limited by the addressing scheme of the computer system and by the amount of auxiliary storage available, not by the actual number of main storage locations (I) (A)

- virtual storage
- virtual memory: (computer science) memory created by using the hard disk to simulate additional random-access memory; the addressable storage space available to the user of a computer system in which virtual addresses are mapped into real addresses
- virtual storage
- The storage space that may be regarded as addressable main storage by the user of a computer system in which virtual addresses are mapped into real addresses Note: The size of virtual storage is limited by the addressing scheme of the computer system and by the amount of auxiliary storage available, and not by the actual number of main storage locations
- virtual storage
- An operating system technique for providing more addressable storage to programs than is actually available on the hardware
- virtual storage
- Virtual storage is the same as virtual memory
- Java Virtual Machine
- a software part of the Java runtime environment that can be accessed with commands, like a microprocessorLike most virtual machines, the Java Virtual Machine has a stack-based architecture akin to a microcontroller/microprocessor., enabling a set of computer software programs and data structures to use a virtual machine model for the execution of other computer programs and scripts
- Java Virtual Machines
- plural form of Java Virtual Machine
- immersive virtual reality
- Immersive virtual reality is a hypothetical future technology. It consists of a virtual reality/artificial environment in which the user is as immersed as they usually are in consensus reality
- Java Virtual Machine
- (Computers) software that serves as interpreter between Java bytecode and a specific operating system (allows Java applications to run on any platform without changing the code)
