    Some OS routines directly support application programs as they run and thus must be resident. Other transient routines are stored on disk and read into memory only when needed. Fixed-length partitions can also be used to allocate the set amount of memory that a particular program needs to run. Under dynamic memory management, the transient area is treated as a pool of unstructured free space. When the system decides to load a particular program, a region of memory just sufficient to hold the program is allocated from the pool. Using segmentation, programs are divided into independently addressed segments and stored in noncontiguous memory. Paging breaks a program into fixed-length pages.…

    The cache is divided into 16 sets of 4 lines each. Therefore, 4 bits are needed to identify the set number. Main memory consists of 4K = 212 blocks. Therefore, the set plus tag lengths must be 12 bits and therefore the tag length is 8 bits. Each block contains 128 words. Therefore, 7 bits are needed to specify the word.…

    Memory management is an important characteristic of an operating system. Main memory is divided into two parts one for resident programs, and the other for the program currently in use. The user part must be subdivided to accommodate multiple processes (Stallings, 2012). When a few processes are in the memory then much of the time all of the processes will have to wait for input /output and the processor will be idle. According to Stallings (2012),. The requirements that memory management is supposed to satisfy are Relocation, Protection, Sharing, Logical organization, and Physical…

    Several methods have been devised that increase the effectiveness of memory management. Virtual memory systems separate the memory addresses used by a process from actual physical addresses, allowing separation of processes and increasing the effectively available amount of RAM using paging or swapping to secondary storage. The quality of the virtual memory manager can have an extensive effect on overall system performanc…
