final exam Difference between Paging and Segmentation (both)

11:44am Tue 22nd Oct, ANONYMOUS

Hi, q3a of the 2017 asks about this and I was wondering if my understanding is correct. Is Segmentation of memory just a different way of saying Dynamic Partitioning? Paging stores allocates each process a fixed size in the physical memory whilst segmentation stores each process's unique size, is that correct? How much detail would be required to achieve the full five marks here?

>From what I understand you need to include disadvantages and advantages of both which would probably take up 3 marks maybe with the initial explanation of each memory allocation process being worth 2 marks? Is that a good way to think about it?
