<p>In <a href="page.php?w=computer_science">computer science</a>, <b>execute in place</b> (<b>XIP</b>) is a method of executing programs directly from long-term storage rather than copying it into <a href="page.php?w=random-access_memory">RAM</a>. It is an extension of using <a href="page.php?w=shared_memory">shared memory</a> to reduce the total amount of memory required.</p>

<p>Its general effect is that the program text consumes no writable memory, saving it for dynamic data, and that all instances of the program are run from a single copy.</p>
