What Does VAX Stand For?
VAX stands for Virtual Address EXtension
VAX, or Virtual Address Extension, is a technology that enhances the memory address space of a computer system, allowing applications to access a larger range of memory than is physically available. By utilizing virtual memory techniques, VAX enables efficient management of both physical and virtual addresses, improving system performance and facilitating the execution of complex applications. This extension is particularly beneficial in environments requiring large datasets or multiple concurrent processes.
