First fit, Best fit and Worst fit in operating system-oocomputer world

 First fit 

Allocate the first hole that is large enough. In other word we can say that In the first fit the partition is allocated which is the first block from the top of the main memory. So it scan memory from the beginning and choose the first block that is large enough.

Advantage of first fit memory allocation

  1. It is fast in processing
  2. It is very fast in execution

Disadvantage of first fit memory allocation

  1. It west lot of memory.

Best fit

Allocate the smallest hole that is big enough. In other words we can say that in the best fit, allocate the process to the partition which is the smallest sufficient partition among the free available.

Advantage of best fit allocation

  1.   The operating system allocates the job minimum possible space in the memory making, memory management very efficient.
  2. To save memory from getting wasted, it is the best method.

Disadvantage of best fit allocation

  1. It is a slow process 
  2. It takes lot of time to complete the work 

 First fit, Best fit and Worst fit in operating system-oocomputer world

Worst fit

 Allocate the largest hole. In another word we can say that in the breast fit,  it a allocate the process to the partition which is the largest sufficient among the freely partitions available in the main memory.

 Advantage of worst fit allocation

  1.  The process choose the largest hole, therefore there will be large internal fragmentation.
  2. This internal fragmentation will be quite big so that other small process can be placed in that field over partition.

Disadvantage of word fit allocation

  1. It is a slow process.

Deadlock in operating system-computer world

  Deadlock in operating system-computer world Deadlock :  In a multi-programming environment, many process may complete for a minute number of resources. A process make a request for a resource and if the resource is not available at that time, the process enter In a waiting state. A waiting state process is never again-able to change state because the resource it has requested is held by other waiting process. This situation is called deadlock. So we can say that a process is said to be deadlock when it is waiting for an event or resources which will never occurs.   so we can say that in this situation none of the process gets executed  since the resource it needs, is held by some other process which is also waits for some other resource to be released.  Let's assume that there are three process P1, P2, p3 and three different resources R1, R2 and R3. R1 is assigned to p1, R2 is assigned to P2 and R3 is assigned to P3.   After somet...

What is computer and its characteristics-computer world

  What is computer and its characteristics  Computer  :  Computer is an electronic data processing device, which accept and store data input, process the data and generates the output in a required format. computer is made up of integrated  parts (input, control, ALU, storage and output unit) All the part work together to process data so, we can say that a computer is a programmable electronic device accept row data as input and process it with  set of instruction to produce the result as output. Meaning of computer The word "computer" comes from the word "compute" which means to "calculate". The word computer is derived from the Latin word compute which means to calculate. Characteristics of computer Automatic : It is a automatic machine work by itself without human instruction. Speed :  A computer is a very fast devices. It can perform in a few second, the amount of work that a human being can do in an entire year.  Accuracy : In addition t...
