User space

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001298

The portion of a computer's virtual memory that is accessible to user applications and processes, distinct from the kernel space. Programs running in user space have restricted access to hardware and system resources, requiring system calls to interact with the operating system kernel. This separation provides memory protection and system stability.
