Disadvantages of memory segmentation:

External fragmentation is present

Costly memory management algorithms.

Segmentation finds free memory area big enough.

Paging keep list of free pages.

Segments of unequal size not suited as well for swapping.

Why you Use Memory Segmentation In 8086 Microprocessor?

The 8086/8088 is a 16 bit processor running on a 16 bit (8086) or 8 bit (8088) bus with a 20 bit address bus. In order to obtain the extra 4 bits of addressibility, Intel designed segment registers that are effectively multiplied by four and then added to the 16 bit offset address generated by the instruction. This yields 64K segments of 64KB each, although they overlap each other at a distance of 16 bytes.


Why 4 bit address bus is grounded?

The data bus in the 8086 is 16 bits in size, while the address bus is 20 (16bits would only address 64KB of memory, an extra 4 bits allows to address the total of 1MB, this is done trough segmentation of the memory). To form a multiplexed of data bus and address bus, four bits of 8086 address bus are grounded.


What is the highest memory address?

The highest memory address in the 8086/8088 is FFFFFH.


What is memory interfacing in 8086 microprocessor?

The 8086/8088 is a 16 bit computer running on a 20 bit address bus. Processes use a segmented memory architecture to access one of four 64kb memory segments from a physical space of 1mb.
