Introduction to Segmentation
Explore the concept of segmentation in operating systems and understand how it addresses inefficiencies in memory use compared to base and bounds registers. Learn to manage large address spaces effectively by avoiding wastage of physical memory and enabling flexible relocation of process address spaces.

So far we have been putting the entire address space of each process in memory. With the base and bounds registers, the OS can easily relocate processes to different parts of physical memory. However, you might have noticed something interesting about these address spaces of ...
