I was always fascinated by virtual memory management, hence decided to do a deep dive ⚡

I loved the concept because it allows processes to access more memory than is physically available on a system. I understood it theoretically during graduation, but seeing it in action was magical.

I wrote a quick and dirty code to allocate a big chunk of virtual memory (1GB), and to my surprise, only 4MB of physical memory was allocated.

keep an eye on the repo, once I have something substantial and worth sharing, I will create a video on it 🙃
