Experiment3 Memory Management

The document discusses two memory management techniques: MFT (Multiprogramming with a Fixed number of Tasks) and MVT (Multiprogramming with a Variable number of Tasks). MFT uses fixed-size partitions leading to internal fragmentation, while MVT allocates memory dynamically, resulting in external fragmentation. It also includes a C program example for MFT memory management, demonstrating memory allocation and fragmentation calculations.

EXPERIMENT 3

MVT and MFT Memory Management Techniques

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 from the problem of internal

fragmentation and MVT suffers from external fragmentation.

MFT Memory Management - C Program

#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

main() {

int ms, bs, nob, ef, n, mp[10], tif = 0;

int i, p = 0;

clrscr();

printf("Enter the total memory available (in Bytes) -- ");

scanf("%d", &ms);

printf("Enter the block size (in Bytes) -- ");

scanf("%d", &bs);

nob = ms / bs;
EXPERIMENT 3

ef = ms - nob * bs;

printf("Enter the number of processes -- ");

scanf("%d", &n);

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {

printf("Enter memory required for process %d (in Bytes)-- ", i + 1);

scanf("%d", &mp[i]);

printf("\nNo. of Blocks available in memory -- %d", nob);

printf("\n\nPROCESS\tMEMORY REQUIRED\t ALLOCATED\tINTERNAL FRAGMENTATION");

for (i = 0; i < n && p < nob; i++) {

printf("\n%d\t\t%d", i + 1, mp[i]);

if (mp[i] > bs)

printf("\t\tNO\t\t---");

else {

printf("\t\tYES\t\t%d", bs - mp[i]);

tif = tif + bs - mp[i];

p++;

printf("\nMemory is Full, Remaining Processes cannot be accommodated");

printf("\n\nTotal Internal Fragmentation is %d", tif);

printf("\nTotal External Fragmentation is %d", ef);

getch();
