Understanding Memory Allocation and Paging in Operating Systems

Week 8: Contiguous Memory Allocation

What is Contiguous Memory Allocation?

Contiguous memory allocation is a method that allocates a single, continuous section of memory to a process or file. It considers the current size and potential growth of the process or file.

Advantages of Contiguous Memory Allocation:

  • Speeds up processing: Accessing data is faster due to the contiguous nature of memory.

Disadvantages of Contiguous Memory Allocation:

  • Memory wastage: Allocating more memory than needed can lead to
