virtual memory

The control and organization of main storage to create a memory-mapping scheme that augments main storage by transferring in a block of data from mass storage whenever a portion of that block is addressed.

NOTE 1 These transfers do not require implementation by the programmer.

NOTE 2 The use of virtual memory causes mass storage to appear as part of main storage.
