What are the types of memory management?

What are the different types of memory management in operating systems?

There are several types of memory management techniques, including paging, segmentation, and dynamic memory allocation.

Can you explain paging in more detail?

Sure! Paging is a memory management scheme that eliminates the need for contiguous allocation of physical memory and thus eliminates the problems of fitting varying sized memory chunks onto the backing store.

What is segmentation and how does it differ from paging?

Segmentation divides memory into different segments based on the logical divisions of a program, while paging divides memory into fixed-size pages. Segmentation is more about the logical structure, whereas paging is about physical memory management.

What are the advantages of using dynamic memory allocation?

Dynamic memory allocation allows programs to request memory as needed, which can lead to more efficient use of memory and better performance.
