25. Definitions : Logical address space , LBA , Spooling , Starvation ,


Aging ,Virtual
Memory
Logical Address Space

This is the set of all addresses a program can use to access memory. Think of it
as the "virtual" memory space that the program believes it has, even though the
actual physical memory (RAM) might be smaller.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing)
A method used by hard drives and SSDs to locate data. Instead of using
cylinders, heads, and sectors (like in old systems), LBA assigns a simple number
to each block of data, making it easier to access.

Spooling
Spooling is like a waiting room for tasks. When a device (like a printer) is
busy, tasks are sent to a queue (spool) to be processed one by one. It ensures
smooth operation even if the device is slower than the incoming tasks.

Starvation
This happens when a task waits indefinitely because higher-priority tasks keep
taking over. It's like waiting in a long queue where VIPs keep cutting ahead of
you.

Aging
A technique to prevent starvation. It gradually increases the priority of a
waiting task over time so that it eventually gets processed.

Virtual Memory
A way for computers to pretend they have more RAM than they actually do. It
temporarily uses part of the hard drive or SSD as memory, allowing the system to
run larger programs or multiple programs at once.

26. FIFO
Optimal Page Replacement Algorithm
Least Recently Used (Along with Code) - VV Imp.
