What About The Stack?
Explore how the stack segment behaves differently in virtual memory by growing towards lower addresses. Understand the hardware role in tracking segment growth direction and translating virtual addresses using negative offsets to physical addresses. This lesson clarifies segmentation and address translation for stack memory in operating systems.

Thus far, we’ve left out one important component of the address space: the stack. The ...
With the hardware understanding that segments can grow in the negative direction, the hardware must now ...
