Virtual Memory is quite an old concept in computer science. Virtual memory management has been long implemented even in hardware. Despite the many advantages it brings into the table, virtual memory poses a few challenges that must be tackled. These challenges are better observed when machines come close to their physical or virtual memory limits. In this article, we will be pushing our machine to the limits and taking notes on its behavior, raising questions and assumptions on the way.
