Memory Manager Simulator

It's recommended to run the Memory_Manager.html file with Google Chrome, keeping the style.css and script.js files in the same directory as the html file.

Note that an internet connection is needed as well in order to download the libraries

The text editor that I used to write this is called Brackets

Features:

• Support for First Fit, Best Fit, and Worst Fit memory algorithms
• The contents of the memory are displayed in a doughnut created with Chart.js
• The contents of the memory can also be viewed as a list
• Capable of performing Compaction
• Support for creating a process with a burst time in milliseconds
• When there is no room for processes in memory, they can be added to the waiting queue
• The user can view, rearrange, and delete processes on the waiting queue
• Processes on the waiting queue are automatically added whenever a process is killed
• The waiting queue uses a FIFO algorithm
• Processes can be randomly created as well as randomly killed
• It's also possible to kill all processes in memory
• The processes in the doughnut can be recolored using a rainbow pattern

How data is structured:

I used 3 separate arrays called memoryLabels, memoryValues, and memoryColors to hold the data for the Memory Simulator. This was done so that the chart may be given reference pointers to these 3 arrays and to keep things less complicated by only having one copy of the data. The processes as well as the free memory blocks are stored on these 3 arrays.

Libraries used:

• jQuery 1.12.1
• jQuery UI 1.12.1
• jQuery Mousewheel plugin 3.1.12
• Chart.js 2.7.1
