Write a C program to simulate the MVT and MFT memory management techniques.
Lab Task:
- You are required to make changes in the above programs and introduce the use of compaction where required.
- Write code to simulate Worst-Fit
Algorithm
Write a C program to simulate the MVT and MFT memory management techniques.
Write a C program to simulate the following contiguous memory allocation techniques
- Worst-fit
- Best-fit
- First-fit
TASK1:
DESCRIPTION
MFT (Multiprogramming with a Fixed number of Tasks) is one of the old memory management techniques in which the memory is partitioned into fixed size partitions and each job is assigned to a partition. The memory assigned to a partition does not change. MVT (Multiprogramming with a Variable number of Tasks) is the memory management technique in which each job gets just the amount of memory it needs. That is, the partitioning of memory is dynamic and changes as jobs enter and leave the system. MVT is a more ``efficient'' user of resources. MFT suffers with the problem of internal fragmentation and MVT suffers with external fragmentation.
TASK2:
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
