Q: 

Role/Responsibility of Heap Manager

Hi,

Is heap manager the one responsible to manage the virtual memory allocations of heap [per process] to the actual mapping of these virtual memory fragments[allocated for heap] to the actual physical memory?

If possible please point me to some documentation on relation of heap and virtual memory/actual memory mapping.

Thanks.
