A memory management unit, sometimes called paged memory management unit, is a computer hardware unit that examines all references to memory, and translates the memory addresses being referenced, known

In computing, virtual memory, or virtual storage, is enabled by a memory management technique that provides an "idealized abstraction of the storage resources that are actually available on a given ma

…possible because programs rarely use large amounts of memory at any one time. Most modern operating systems (OS) work in concert with an MMU to provide virtual memory (VM) support. The MMU tracks memory use in fixed-size blocks known as pages. If a program refers to a location in a page that is not in physical memory…
The University of Manchester Atlas Computer was the first computer to use true virtual memory.
