What Does VM Stand For?

VM stands for Virtual Memory

Virtual Memory (VM) is a memory management technique that creates an abstraction of physical memory, allowing a computer to use hard drive space to extend RAM capabilities. By enabling the execution of larger applications and multitasking across multiple processes, VM enhances system performance and resource allocation. It allows programs to operate in a virtual address space, which the system maps to physical memory as needed, thereby optimizing memory usage and improving overall efficiency.
