IMPLEMENTATION OF MEMORY MANAGEMENT SCHEME




Ex. No.: 8
IMPLEMENTATION OF MEMORY MANAGEMENT SCHEME



Aim:

To write C program to implement Memory Allocation using
a.       First Fit Algorithm
b.      Best Fit Algorithm
c.       Worst Fit Algorithm


Problem Description:

            The memory is divided into many partitions. When a partition is free, a process is selected form the input queue and is loaded into the free partition. When the process terminates the partition is available for another process

            Initially, all memory is available for user processes, and it considers the available block of memory, a hole. When a process arrives and needs memory, we search for a hole large enough for the process. If we found one, we allocate only as much memory as is needed, keeping the rest available to satisfy the future request.

             The set of holes is searched to determine which hole is the best to allocate. The following strategies are used to select a free hole from the set of available holes

·         First fit: Allocate the first hole that is big enough. Searching can start at the beginning if set of holes or where the first fit search ended. We can stop as soon as we find a free hole that is large enough.
·         Best fit: Allocate the smallest hole that is big enough. We must search the entire list, unless the list is kept ordered by size. This strategy produces the smallest leftover hole
·         Worst fit: Allocate the largest hole. Again we must search the entire list, unless it is sorted by size. This strategy produces the largest leftover hole, which may be more useful than the smaller leftover hole from a best-fit approach

ALGORITHM:


Step 1 :  Declare the require variables.
Step 2 : Get the memory partition size and page size from the user.
Step 3 : Select the algorithm based on the choice from the user using switch case.
Step 4 : For the First Fit Algorithm, find the first memory partition which is big enough to hold that process and allocate the memory partition to that process. Also calculate the free memory space.
Step 5 : For the Best Fit Algorithm, find the smallest memory partition which is big enough to hold the requesting process and allocate the memory partition to the process and calculate the free memory space.
Step 6 :  For the Worst Fit Algorithm, find the largest available memory partition which is big enough to hold the requesting process and allocate the memory partition to the process and calculate the free memory space.
Step 7 : Display the final frame size and allocated process details and free memory space.
Step 8 : Terminate the program
