Description: A logical address is a fundamental concept in computer architecture, referring to an address generated by the CPU during the execution of a program. This address is used by the operating system to access memory and other system resources. Unlike physical addresses, which refer to specific locations in RAM, logical addresses are abstract and allow programs to operate in a virtual address space, facilitating memory management and security. The translation of logical addresses to physical addresses is performed by the memory management system, which uses techniques such as paging and segmentation. This process is crucial for the efficient execution of multiple programs in a multitasking environment, as it allows each program to have its own address space, avoiding conflicts and improving system stability. Logical addresses are essential in modern computing environments, where virtualization and resource management are fundamental for system performance and security.
