It depends on the size of the address bus, which is often different than the size of the data bus.

  • If the address bus were 8 bits, then you could address 256 locations.
  • If the address bus were 16 bits, such as in the 8085, then you could address 65,536 locations.
  • If the address bus were 20 bits, such as in the 8086/8088, then you can address 1,048,576 locations.

What is address space?

An address space is a range of discrete addresses, all of the address locations available in a particular named subset of a computer's memory.


Is it conceivable that some operating system processes might have the entire main memory as their address space?

No, it is impossible. The operating system kernel must remain in memory at all times, including the virtual memory manager, thus no single process can physically occupy every address. Indeed, all unused physical memory is allocated to the virtual memory manager. Processes are allocated addresses within the virtual address space but some of those addresses are reserved for system use only. As such, no process can ever use the entire virtual address space let alone the entire physical address space.

What is the difference between virtual logical and physical address spaces?

The concept of a logical address space is simply involved the process of mapping the Logical addresses to their Physical Addresses . Logical addresses are generated by the CPU; also referred to as virtual addresses.while Physical Address is the actual address of the data stored on the physical device and mapped by MMU.


What types of networks uses network addresses assigned by the IANA?

What is logical address space and physical address space?

Logical address is the address generated by the CPU (from the perspective of a program that is running) whereas physical address (or the real address) is the address seen by the memory unit and it allows the data bus to access a particular memory cell in the main memory. All the logical addresses need to be mapped in to physical addresses before they can be used by the MMU. Physical and logical addresses are same when using compile time and load time address binding but they differ when using execution time address binding.
