Question

What solution can be done for the inefficiency in the memory usage of small data?

(a) same size buffer

(b) single buffer

(c) variable size buffer

(d) directional buffer

I had been asked this question in my homework.

This intriguing question originated from Buffer Exchange topic in chapter Buffering and other Data Structures of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) variable size buffer

To explain I would say: The buffer exchange becomes inefficient while concerning the memory usage for small and the simple data. In order to solve this problem, variable size buffers can be used but this requires a more complex operation to handle the length of the valid data.
