Consider we have large amount of physical memory.Do we still need virtual memory?What is the use of paging in that situation

Question

Accepted Answer

Virtual memory is still necessary even with large physical memory. Paging helps manage memory usage.

Virtual memory allows for efficient use of physical memory by swapping data between RAM and storage devices.
Paging helps manage memory usage by dividing memory into smaller chunks called pages, which can be swapped in and out of physical memory as needed.
Even with large physical memory, virtual memory can still be useful for running multiple applications simultaneously or for handling large datasets.
Without virtual memory, the system may run out of physical memory and crash or become unstable.
Examples of systems that use virtual memory include Windows, macOS, and Linux.
