Unreferenced date May 2009 Image Virtual address space and physical address space relationship.svg thumb 300px In computing , a physical address , also real address , or binary address , is the memory address that is represented in the form of a binary number on the address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory . In a computer with virtual memory , the term physical address is used mostly to differentiate from a virtual address . In particular, in computers utilizing memory management unit MMU to translate memory addresses, the virtual and physical addresses refer to an address before and after MMU translation respectively. In computer networking , physical address is sometimes a synonym of MAC address . The address is actually used on the network s data link layer , not on the physical layer , as the name would suggest. Unaligned addressing Depending upon its underlying computer architecture , the performance of a computer may be hindered by unaligned access to memory. As an example, a 16 bit computer with a 16 bit memory data bus such as an Intel 8086 generally works most algorithmic efficiency efficiently if the access is aligned to an even address. In that case fetching one 16 bit value requires a single memory read operation, a single transfer over a data bus. Obviously, if the 16 bit data value starts at an odd address, the processor may actually need to perform two memory read cycles to load the value into it, i.e. one for the low address throwing half of it away and then a second to load the high address again throwing half of the retrieved data away . In fact, on some Computer architecture architectures such as the Motorola 68000 family , unaligned memory accesses will result in an exception being raised usually resulting in a software exception being raised like POSIX s SIGBUS . Physical address in The computer ... in this we have two different kinds of addresses that are physical Address and the logical ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2008 A physical disorder as a medical term is often used as a term in contrast to a mental disorder , in an attempt to differentiate medical disorders that have an available mechanical test such as chemical tests or brain scans , from those disorders which have no laboratory or imaging test, and are diagnosed only by behavioral syndrome such as those in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM . Differentiating physical disorders from mental disorders can be a difficult problem in both medicine and law, most notably because it delves into deep issues, and very old and unresolved arguments in philosophy and religion. Many materialist s believe that all mental disorders are physical disorders of some kind, even if tests for them have not yet been developed and it has been the case that some disorders once widely thought to be purely mental, are known to have physical origins, such as schizophrenia . Some Who date December 2008 psychiatrists take the position that some or all mental disorders may be seen analogously to the information level of programming in a computer.

Some recognized physical disorders produce significant behavioral changes. For example, fever , head trauma , and hyperthyroidism can produce delirium .
