<memory management, storage> A collection of techniques for
providing sufficient memory to one or more processes in a
computer system, especially when the system does not have
enough memory to satisfy all processes' requirements
simultaneously. Techniques include swapping, paging and
virtual memory. Memory management is usually performed
mostly by a hardware memory management unit.

Memory management is a form of resource management applied to computer memory. The essential requirement of memory management is to provide ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and free it for reuse when no longer needed.
