This is Address CPU can address. This is 0 - 4GB under 32bit architecture. Physical address: This are actual memory installed in your system. Linear address have to be converted to physical address eventually. MMU translate linear address with the help of paging to physical address. > > This is to understand the Virtual address space.Basically who generates the virtual addresses CPU or GNU compiler? A program image generated by compiler & linker uses Virtual Address . During execution of the program CPU + MMU translates or maps each virtual address to physical address. Net-net this is architecture dependent and would highly recommend reading Intel’s Architecture Manual for your reference. > > Thanks > Madhu > _______________________________________________ > Kernelnewbies mailing list > Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
