I'm not a vandal or spammer I just haven't created a username and password yet but the answer to the question is that your physical address is burned into the net work card adapter on your PC or on Apple Macs by the manufacturer at the time of production and they are all unique. That physical address, just like your mailing address it is real, is also called your MAC address (Media Access Control address) and looks like this 00-56-7E-4A-DD-8D. The logical address is what the IP (internet Protocol) address, can also be called virtual address, is and it looks like this 216.109.112.135 and is Yahoo's IP address. Your IP address can change and often does when you have a high speed Internet connection. This is called your DHCP Lease and it actually has an expiration date and time. When it expires you may get the same one or another one depending on what available IP addresses the DHCP server has available. You can also do this with the release and renew commands. You can look up the addresses on your computer with the ipconfig -all command in Windows command line utility (cmd on 2000/XP). To do this go to Start - RUN - type 'cmd'. Then your console window should open up. In there you can type 'ipconfig -all' and you will get the information about your physical address and IP address. To lookup Yahoo's or Google's address type ' nslookup yahoo.com or nslookup google.com and you should get the corresponding IP address of the web site. nslookup (name server lookup) is a network command line utility that will display the IP address of a site. I hope this helps as there is a great deal more information that I could write about these two address types.

Why you need memory physical address and memory logical address?

Physical Address refers to Storage location on Physical Memory wheres Logical Addressing is used by Memory Managing Programs to refers addresses from Physical Memory and Virtual Memory.


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.


How logical address is mapped to physical address?

In the 8086/8088, the logical address (or effective address) is mapped to a physical address by adding it to the left shifted by 4 value of a segment register. For example, is the logical address is 1234H, and the segment register's contents is 5678H, the physical address is 1234H + 56780H, or 579B4H.

What is advantage of TLB?

The Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) helps improve the efficiency of virtual memory access by storing recently used virtual-to-physical address translations. This reduces the need to access the page table in memory, speeding up the translation process and overall system performance.

How can you calculate the physical memory of the next instruction executed by the microprocessor?

To calculate the physical memory address of the next instruction executed by a microprocessor, you typically use the program counter (PC), which holds the address of the next instruction to be fetched. The PC is incremented after each fetch, usually by the size of the instruction that was executed. In systems with paging or segmentation, you may also need to consider the current values of the segment registers or page tables to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses correctly. Thus, the physical address can be derived from the PC value, along with any necessary address translation mechanisms.
