Address Space: Range of virtual memory assigned for user or
seperately running program.

Swapping: Transferring all of the pages of an Address Space
between Real & Auxiliary Storage.

SWAP-IN: Swapping from Auxiliary to Real.
SWAP-OUT: Swapping from Real to Auxiliary.

Address Space size: Basically the size of the address space
depends on the number of bits used by the OS. So, size of
16 bits address space is (2 to the power of 16) 64KB.

All hav already given defn for swap in swap out and for
address space too....

therefore, for 16bit, 2^(16-1)=2^15=2^5 x 2^10 = 32 KB.

Answer / ram

Swapping: Transfer the recent valid private address spaces between real storage and auxilary storage.it is not possible in real mode.

swap in :from auxilary storage and real storage.
swap out :from real storage and auxilary storage.

Address space: it is the complete range of address.i.e., reffered to an application space , in which only programs can execute and it contains no data.

formula =(2^n)-1
=(2^16)-1
=65536-1
=65535~64kb.

address space, after 1970's our ibm came out with address
space concepts.. each byte of address space can
addrressable and every AS has common area and accessed by
other AS called as MRO. we can call it as virtual storage
it resides in aux,.storage . ..
size of AS : 0-2GB.(2048mb)
