# Memory management: physical and virtual
22

3+
The kernel knows the size of the physical memory available thanks to [Grub](../Chapter-3/README.md).
4+
5+
In our implementation, the first 8 megabytes of physical memory will be reserved for use by the kernel and will contain:
6+
7+
- The kernel
8+
- GDT, IDT et TSS
9+
- Kernel Stack
10+
- Some space reserved to hardware (video memory, ..)
11+
- Page directory and pages table for the kernel
12+
13+
The rest of the physical memory is freely available to the kernel and applications.
