The memory manager provides a set of system services to allocate and free virtual memory, share memory between processes, map files into memory, flush virtual pages to disk, retrieve information about a range of virtual pages, change the protection of virtual pages, and lock the virtual pages i...
Figure 3. Processes share memory by mapping independent views of a common region in the system pagefile. Windows NT's tight security system prevents processes from directly sharing information among each other, but MMFs provide a mechanism that works with the security system. In order for one pr...
Some thread needs to store progressively expanding data. And the data needs to be in one contiguous chunk of memory. It is preferred not to commit large physical memory at one go because it is not needed and would be such a waste. The memory can be utilized by some other threads first....

Private virtual memory is the kind that underlies the garbage collector heap, native heap and language allocators. It's called private because by definition it can't be shared between processes. For that reason, it's easy to attribute to a process and Windows tracks its usage with t...
shared between all processes and the operating system. Typically, applications (for example, Notepad, Word, Excel, and Acrobat Reader) use only a fraction of the 2 GB of private address space. The operating system assigns RAM page frames only to those virtual memory pages that are ...
It also enables named pipe communication between programs that are running on the local computer and on other computers. Named pipe communication is memory that is reserved for the output of one process to be used as input for another process. The input-accepting process does not have to be ...
