Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are designing an embedded system with limited memory. Describe how you would implement memory allocation to minimize internal fragmentation. Discuss the trade-offs involved.

💡 Hint: Consider deciding a size that balances your expected usage.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a scenario where a system frequently requests varying sizes of memory. Discuss how this could lead to internal fragmentation and suggest strategies to improve utilization.

💡 Hint: What methods can reduce differences in requests?
