Memory is a finite resource required by most non trivial processes. It is the operating systems obligation to ensure that memory is correctly managed in the sense that processes that request memory are given it and that processes memory is protected from other processes. The specific roles of the operating system include tracking the amount of free and allocated memory and also handling the transfers between memory and disk.
