Memory Management

MFT Algorithms

This is the oldest and simplest technique used to put more than one process in the main memory. In this partitioning, the number of partitions (non-overlapping) in RAM is fixed but the size of each partition may or may not be the same. As it is a contiguous allocation, hence no spanning is allowed. Here partitions are made before execution or during system configure.




MVT Algorithms

MVT is used to alleviate the problem faced by MFT. In contrast with MFT, partitions are not made before the execution or during system configure.
