Memory Address

We make distinction between 3 different kinds of addresses:

1. Logical
2. Relative
3. Physical

Logical

• Reference to a memory location independent of the current assignment of data to memory
• Translation must be made to the physical address

Relative

• Address expressed as a location relative to some known point

Physical

• The absolute address or actual location in main memory
