CPU can get data and instructions from RAM much faster that from hard disk. As we know CPU is a very very fast device. It may execute billions of instructions per second. CPU will have to wait for data and instruction from hard disk because getting data from hard disk is very slow. That is why RAM is used. So data and instructions needed for execution are brought into main memory that is RAM first. Now RAM provides data and instructions to CPU rapidly. What is Memory Management and virtual memory management Operating System allocates the required memory are in main memory to program
