Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how each method treats memory gaps.

Question 2

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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how each technique impacts performance and memory use.
