What is the purpose of storing a program in memory?

Anything stored in memory can be accessed much faster than items stored on the harddrive. This is basically because of the physical composition of memory chips which allows for much faster data-transfer. The tradeoff is the amount of space that memory provides, and the number of programs that end up sharing the memory. So, when a program is stored in memory, its execution is much faster. However, if a program exists ONLY in the memory, and does not store any data on the primary disk, then when you exit a program, all your data will also be destroyed due to active memory management that takes place. Data will not persist when program exists. Hence, you will need to write the data to a file on the hardisk which can be accessed later and loaded into the memory next time when the program runs.


Describe a mechnism for enforcing memory protection in order to prevent a program from modifying the memory associated with other program?

The processor could keep track of what locations are associated with each process and limit access to locations that are outside of a program's extent. Information regarding the extent of a program's memory could be maintained by using base and limits registers and by performing a check for every memory access.
