Question

How many numbers of ways are possible for allocating the memory to the modular blocks?

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

The question was posed to me during an online exam.

I want to ask this question from Memory Management topic in division Memory Systems of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) 3

To elaborate: Most of the systems have a multitasking operating system in which the software consists of modular blocks of codes which run under the control of the operating system. There are three ways for allocating memory to these blocks. The first way distributes the block in a predefined way. The second way for allocating memory includes relocation or position independency in the software and the other way of allocating memory to the block is the address translation in which the logical address is translated to the physical address.
