What is contiguous allocation?
Think about how you would fit a single object in a space.
What is fragmentation?
Consider how leftover pieces of memory can't be used effectively.
What is the main advantage of paged allocation over contiguous allocation?
Remember how this technique works.
True or False: Segmentation divides memory into fixed-size pages.
Think about how segments are structured compared to pages.
Consider a scenario where you have limited memory to allocate to five different programs with varying memory requirements. Discuss how you would approach this using contiguous vs. paged allocation. What are the pros and cons?
Think about how each method treats memory gaps.
Compare and contrast the implications of using segmentation versus paged allocation in a large computer system. How do they each manage memory and the implications for performance?
Consider how each technique impacts performance and memory use.
