Question
One form of this construct exhibits optimal performance with the impossible-to-implement Bélády’s algorithm. The valgrind utility is used to debug errors with this construct. Insufficient locality of this construct leads to thrashing, which involves pages of it constantly swapping. Calling “free” twice can lead to an incorrect access of this construct called a segfault. Pointers are so named for “pointing” to this construct. A form of this construct known as a cache can be used to reduce the number of reads and writes to this construct’s “random-access” form. For 10 points, name this construct whose size is measured in gigabytes. ■END■
ANSWER: computer memory [accept random-access memory or virtual memory; accept cache until read; prompt on RAM]
