I am studying OS in my Engineering class, have one doubt in the section of Memory management.

In RAM the entire process is loaded or only the section of the program needed for execution is loaded?

  • You should look up the terms "virtual memory" and "paging". Modern OSes don't load the entire process into RAM because it's a waste of main memory. Hence "virtual", which give the illusion to the process that all its memory is in RAM and available immediately. – wxz May 21 '21 at 16:22
