1. Which partitioning setup could possibly reduce internal fragmentation and how?

- In the case of fixed partitioning, the partitions are wasted and would stay unused if the
process size is less than the partition size. When memory is wasted in this manner, it is referred
to as internal fragmentation. Internal fragmentation happens when a process demands more
space than the size of its given memory block or utilizes less space than the size of its allotted
memory block space.

2. Based on the two partitioning setup above, would you recommend the implementation of
the fixed partitioning technique in developing automated machines? Why or why not?
- My personal advice is that it be a fixed partition since one of the benefits of permanent
partitions is that data loss may be avoided during power outages or when software fails. Equal-
sized partitions have facilitated faster data recovery in crucial scenarios, which would be critical
for any organization.

3. In your perspective, what are the possible downside of utilizing an equally sized memory
partitions? Rationalize your answer.
- A disadvantage of fixed partitions is the significant restriction that comes with the fixed
or allotted area in the specific partition. It is possible to have a big number of partitions while
providing one or two very large partitions. Huge partitions allow for the complete loading of
large applications. To lock a process's memory, it must be less than the partition's maximum
size.

4. What do you think is the possible reason why Process 2 was pulled/swapped out € of the
memory?
- A process may be shifted from main memory for one of two reasons: it may be idle or it
may have been interrupted. In the above example, process 2 is most likely switched since it is
idle.

5. When Process 1 finishes the execution (g) and Process 2 is swapped back in the memory (h),
what possible condition or phenomenon can occur within the memory? Rationalize your
answer.

- The processes are not completely eliminated until they are successfully implemented.
In the scheduling method, the CPU has been assigned to generate a certain process. This
process is what keeps the CPU busy and will eventually be terminated to relive the CPU.

 6. If you are to develop a file management system, would you suggest the implementation of
the dynamic partitioning technique in memory management? Why or why not?

- Yes, I would say. It would be ideal for me to utilize the dynamic partitioning strategy
since it attempts to solve the difficulties presented by fixed partitioning. Overall, because
dynamic partitioning partitions are produced based on the demands of the process, it is
apparent that there will be no internal fragmentation because there will be no unnecessary
residual space in the partition.
