Description: High-level memory management refers to the administration of memory resources in computer systems at a higher level of abstraction. This involves the use of complex algorithms and advanced techniques to optimize memory usage, ensuring that processes and applications can efficiently access the necessary resources. Unlike low-level memory management, which deals with the allocation and deallocation of specific memory blocks, high-level memory management focuses on the organization and control of memory in a more global manner. This includes the implementation of strategies such as paging, segmentation, and the use of virtual memory, which allow systems to operate with greater flexibility and efficiency. High-level memory management is crucial for the overall performance of the system, as inefficient management can lead to issues such as memory fragmentation, increased access times, and ultimately poor application performance. In environments where multiple processes compete for limited resources, the ability to manage memory effectively becomes a determining factor for system stability and performance.
