Memory Management Unit

A Memory Management Unit (MMU) is a hardware component in a computer that helps the system efficiently organize and access memory. It translates the addresses used by programs into actual physical locations in the computer’s memory, ensuring each program operates in its own space without interference. The MMU also enforces security and protection, preventing programs from accessing or corrupting each other's data. By managing how memory is allocated and accessed, the MMU improves overall system performance and stability, allowing multiple applications to run smoothly simultaneously.
