The program is run on your RAM memory, on the most available CPU core.

Which area of the computer holds the data and instruction that are about to be used by the central processing unit?
MAIN MEMORY
What are subdivision of computer main memory?
Input Storage Area Working Storage Area Output Storage Area Program Storage Area
What is a page fault and a page swap?
a page fault is an interrupt (or exception) to the software raised by the hardware, when a program accesses a page that is mapped in address space, but not loaded in physical memory.Wikipedia knows...A page swap means that your page is loaded into main memory or is sent out of main memory to make place (probably due to memory-shortages or to make place for others).
Where is the operating system stored before it is loaded into main memory?
on the hard drive
Are MS DOS programs loaded in the main memory?
yes. of course. MS-DOS does not have a dynamic memory management.
Does main memory provide the CPU with a working storage area for program instructions and data?
main memory provides buffers.buffers are the places where program execution takes place.but the CPU is provided with registers(memory units) there CPU can accomodate instructions and the data on which theses instructions are to be operated.from the main memory CPU fetches the instructions one by one and the instruction is processed in the CPU and then sends back the result to the main memory......i think so.thank u
Which program always resides in main memory?
loader
Is software stored in main memory or non volatile memory?
Both. The software resides in the nonvolatile memory when it is not being run, and a copy is loaded into main memory when it is being run. Programs have to reside in RAM in order for the CPU to process their instructions.

What is the role of operating system in memory management?
Role of the Memory management unit in Operating system Every program for its execution requires some space in computer memory which is provided by memory management unit using virtual memory that provides the external storage addressing location for the programs that does not have too much space in main memory for their execution and saved them in secondary memory but when required loaded them again in main memory. This deallocation and reallocation of programs in main memory deals with concurrency. At last, we say that loading capabilities of programs with the memory addressing is there in it.
What is fixed partition main memory management technique in operating systems?
A partitioned memory management technique is when the operating system loads more than one application program into memory at the same time, they share memory space and cpu time. The main memory (which is the volatile memory where active programs and data are held during use), is divided into partitions that different processes that are running can fit into. The partitions sizes can either be fixed, or they can change to encompass the size of the process that is to be run. So, a fixed partition main memory management technique is when the main memory is divided into partitions that do not change based on the size of the process, they are a fixed size. And a process is loaded into a partition big enough to hold it.
When data and instructions are not being used where are they kept?
Originally they're kept on the hard drive in the form of a program. Once run, the instructions and data are loaded into main memory until the processor is ready for them. They are then read into the various levels of CPU cache when awaiting execution.
