Class CIM_MemoryConfigurationService
extends CIM_Service

Instances of the CIM_MemoryConfigurationService exist to facilitate provisioning of system memory. Traditionally the platform BIOS is able to map memory resources into the system address space without user intervention. Some memory devices may support or require configuration prior to being made available in the system address space. The CIM_MemoryConfigurationService is utilized with this later type of memory device. It supports allocation, a process by which primordial, unconfigured memory is made available to the system. It also supports deallocation, whereby visible extents are returned to their primordial state.
