摘要: An application programming interface (API) enables programs in a multitasking operating environment to classify portions of their code and data group that the system loads into physical memory all at one time. Designed for systems implement virtual memory, this API memory-intensive avoid performance degradation due swapping units back forth between hard drive memory. Instead incurring latency page fault whenever attempts access or is not located makes sure loaded This increases initial load operation, but reduces subsequent accesses group.
