  2. Memory overcommitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_overcommitment

    Another disadvantage is that, when running out of real memory, the system is relying on the applications to not use the additional memory despite it being allocated to them. Should a program do so anyway, it or another has to be killed in order to free up memory to prevent the system from freezing. The OOM Killer is what performs this task.

  3. 2 GB limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_GB_limit

    The 2 GB limit refers to a physical memory barrier for a process running on a 32-bit operating system, which can only use a maximum of 2 GB of memory. [1] The problem mainly affects 32-bit versions of operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Linux, although some variants of the latter can overcome this barrier. [2]

  5. Out of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_memory

    Out of memory screen display on system running Debian 12 (Linux kernel 6.1.0-28) Out of memory (OOM) is an often undesired state of computer operation where no additional memory can be allocated for use by programs or the operating system. Such a system will be unable to load any additional programs, and since many programs may load additional ...

  6. RAM limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_limit

    Pages of memory from expanded memory hardware were accessible through an addressing window placed into a free area in the UMA space, and by exchanging it for other pages when needed to access other memory. EMS supported 16 MB of space. Using a quirk in the 286 CPU architecture, the high memory area (HMA) was accessible, as the first 64 KB above ...

  7. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    Memory allocation is dynamic – each process gets as much memory as it requests. Active pages are transferred into main memory for fast access; inactive pages are pushed out to secondary storage to make room, as needed. When a single process starts consuming a large amount of memory, it usually occupies more and more of main memory, pushing ...

  8. 3 GB barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier

    Many 32-bit computers have 32 physical address bits and are thus limited to 4 GiB (2 32 words) of memory. [3] [4] x86 processors prior to the Pentium Pro have 32 or fewer physical address bits; however, most x86 processors since the Pentium Pro, which was first sold in 1995, have the Physical Address Extension (PAE) mechanism, [5]: 445 which allows addressing up to 64 GiB (2 36 words) of memory.
