Today In This article we’ll see how many bytes are loss due to internal fragmentation there are certain types of fragmentation called as a internal and external fragmentation in this article we will discuss all details. More – Click Here
How many bytes are lost due to internal fragmentation?
Process P1 with a demand of 5MB memory arrives & given a memory block of Size 6MB. Then 1MB of free space in this block is waste and cannot be used to allocate memory to another process. It is known as internal fragmentation.
As an example, following memory holes: 50 KB, 400 KB, 130 KB, 300 KB, 150 KB, and 70 KB
Now I have the following processes that need the following memory space (in order):
A = 230 KB, B =180 KB, C = 130 KB, D = 120 KB, E = 200 KB.
Using the first fit algorithm method,
50 KB hole is assigned 0 processes -> 50 KB free
400 KB hole is assigned processes A and C -> 40 KB free
130 KB hole is assigned process D -> 10 KB free
300 KB hole is assigned process B -> 120 KB free
150 KB hole is assigned 0 processes -> 150 KB free
70 KB hole is assigned 0 processes -> 70 KB free
So, based on my understanding of the definitions:
Total internal fragmentation = 50 KB + 150 KB + 70 KB = 270 KB
Total external fragmentation = 40 KB + 10 KB + 120 KB = 170 KB
What is mean by fragmentation?
Whenever memory is divided into the several chunks and some space is still remaining then this remaining space causes the fragmentation.
How to avoid internal fragmentation?
Internal fragmentation can be avoided by using dynamic memory allocation keep track of your data you have available and attempt to avoid internal fragmentation as much as possible.
What is the size of internal fragmentation?
The size of internal fragmentation is depend on your memory size.
What is difference between internal and external fragmentation?
Internal fragmentation occurs when memory is divided into fixed size partition while external fragmentation occur when memory is divided into the variable size partition
FAQ – How many bytes are lost due to internal fragmentation?
How much memory is wasted by internal fragmentation?
Process P1 with a demand of 5MB memory arrives & given a memory block of Size 6MB. Then 1MB of free space in this block is waste and cannot be used to allocate memory to another process. It is known as internal fragmentation.
What is memory fragmentation?
Whenever memory is divided into the several chunks and some space is still remaining then this remaining space causes the fragmentation.
Is paging non contiguous?
Yes , Paging is a non-contiguous memory allocation technique
What are the two types of memory partitioning?
Fixed-sized memory partitioning & Variable-sized memory partitioning.
How to compute total internal and external fragmentation
There is certain algorithm like first fit, best fit & worst fit for memory allocation and depend on algorithm strategy the internal and external fragmentation varies.
As an example, following memory holes: 50 KB, 400 KB, 130 KB, 300 KB, 150 KB, and 70 KB
Now I have the following processes that need the following memory space (in order):
A = 230 KB, B =180 KB, C = 130 KB, D = 120 KB, E = 200 KB.
Using the first fit algorithm method,
50 KB hole is assigned 0 processes -> 50 KB free
400 KB hole is assigned processes A and C -> 40 KB free
130 KB hole is assigned process D -> 10 KB free
300 KB hole is assigned process B -> 120 KB free
150 KB hole is assigned 0 processes -> 150 KB free
70 KB hole is assigned 0 processes -> 70 KB free
So, based on my understanding of the definitions:
Total internal fragmentation = 50 KB + 150 KB + 70 KB = 270 KB
Total external fragmentation = 40 KB + 10 KB + 120 KB = 170 KB
Assume 140 k, 260 k, 60k memory is free what is the total external fragmentation arises for the following request 110k 30k 210 50k using the best fit algorithm
The total external fragmentation is [140 – 110] + [260 – 210 ]+ [60 – 30 ] is equals to [30 + 50 + 30] is equals to 110k
