Hi guys; about the term "access" in Computer, specifically in memory management, what does it mean?
for example in real life if I want to access a store of stocks, I enter it, but I would come back after grabbing/finishing what I wanted from the store, my question when the PC have an access to the memory for reading data, once he accessed it, will the pc read it instantly or he come back to operating system and afterwards reading it? exactly what's confusing me if while accessing something the PC instantly "doing" what the task required or what?! thanks !
to sum up; while PC is accessing whatever in PC's Component for a concrete task(for instance reading data from memory), does PC once accessed do concurrently the concrete task or back to the OS and afterwards doing the concrete task ?!
sorry about silly question but it's much baffling me.
