CONCEPT IN COMPUTING: THE ASSIGNMENT OF MORE MEMORY THAN THE PHYSICAL MACHINE ACTUALLY HAS
Memory overcommit; Overcommit; Overcommitment
Memory overcommitment is a concept in computing that covers the assignment of more memory to virtual computing devices (or processes) than the physical machine they are hosted, or running on, actually has.
