Base plus displacement.
Offset address is also known as displacement.By adding this offset value to a base address,address of a specific locaction in memory can be accessed
displacement from base address
When stored in contiguous blocks, data usually has a base address. Accessing any data from the block requires an offset to the base address which is achieved through an index. The adding of an offset to the base address is called indexed addressing.
The Physical address can be calculated asPhysical address = Base address + Offset.So take Base,Offsets,Lengths in to different arrays and check whether offset is less than length , if it is then the physical address would be base+ Offset , if not then that is a segment error.
Refers to a value added to a base address to produce a second address. For example, if B represents address 100, then the expression,B+5would signify the address 105. The 5 in the expression is the offset.Specifying addresses using an offset is called relative addressing because the resulting address is relative to some other point. Another word for offset is displacement.Ajesh John
An offset address is a relative address rather than an absolute address. You use offsets to refer to memory relative to an absolute address. For instance, array indices are implemented using offsets from the start address of the array, such that element 0 is at offset 0 and element 5 is at offset 5.
You cannot. The conversion goes this way: segment+offset -> [segment-table] -> linear_address -> [page-table] -> physical_address PS: In most cases there is only one (4GB long) segment (or one code-segment and one data-segment), so offset is quite the same as linear address
your question is wrong. it should be "can physical address and logical address be same" answer is no because logical address is the combination of page number and offset whereas physical address is the combination of physical page[frame] and offset
Lets take the scenario of CPU MMU (memory management unit) Physical Memory.CPU generates the logical address as Page number + Page offset.Of course this address will point to some physical address.Page number is for the index in page table (for base address).The base address + offset is sent to MMU which is mapped to the corresponding physical page.
The offset is usually the difference between the address of a module and the specific location being referenced.
DI is used as an offset address for string instruction destinations in the microprocessors.
