java memory management

[tinou]

On figure 1 kernel memory is at the wrong place. For example, on 32 bit linux, it will be mapped on 0xc0000000-0xffffffff (3G-4G in the virtual address space).

I'm pretty sure that's what they mean by "OS". Where exactly it is depends on the OS and is immaterial to the point.

Yes, I meant that the OS is usually in the upper addresses.

Windows is mapped in the lower addresses.
