Copy-On-Write (COW) memory management is a memory optimization technique employed by operating systems to reduce overheads when creating new processes. It facilitates multiple processes to share the same memory pages until one process modifies them. Upon modification, the operating system creates a duplicate copy of the original page, which is exclusively granted to the modifying process, while the other processes continue to share the original page. This technique is especially advantageous while creating new processes, as it enables the new process to share the memory pages of the parent process until it requires modifying them. By significantly saving memory and ... Read More
