MEMORY ALLOCATION TECHNIQUES

AIM: To Write a C program to simulate the following contiguous memory


allocation techniques
a) Worst-fit b) Best-fit c) First-fit
DESCRIPTION
One of the simplest methods for memory allocation is to divide memory into
several fixed-sized partitions. Each partition may contain exactly one process.
In this multiple-partition method, when a partition is free, a process is selected
from the input queue and is loaded into the free partition. When the process
terminates, the partition becomes available for another process. The operating
system keeps a table indicating which parts of memory are available and which
are occupied. Finally, when a process arrives and needs memory, a memory
section large enough for this process is provided. When it is time to load or
swap a process into main memory, and if there is more than one free block of
memory of sufficient size, then the operating system must decide which free
block to allocate. Best-fit strategy chooses the block that is closest in size to the
request. First-fit chooses the first available block that is large enough. Worst-fit
chooses the largest available block.
