Multiprogramming with fixed partitionsConsider the warehouse example again, multiple jobs of different types (perhaps size) entering storage in different partitions
- Several users simultaneously compete for system resources
- switch between I/O jobs and calculation jobs for instance
- To take advantage of this sharing of CPU, important for many jobs to be present in main memory
- Allowing Relocation and Transfers between partitions
- Protection implemented by the use of several boundary registers : low and high boundary registers, or base register with length
- Fragmentation occurs if user programs cannot completely fill a partition - wasteful.

Is it possible to do multiprogramming with only one partition of the memory?
is it possible to do multiprogramming with only one partition
What is fixed partition memory?
The first attempt to allow for multiprogramming used fixed partitions (also called static partitions) within the main memory-one partition for each job. Because the size of each partition was designated when the system was powered on, each partition could only be reconfigured when the computer system was shut down, reconfigured, and restarted. Thus, once the system was in operation the partition sizes remained static.

Is single partition a fixed partition?
yes
What is another name for a fixed partition?
Static Partition
What is the difference between fixed and variable partition?
in the fixed partition the partition is once allocated is fixed. in fixed partition more memory wastage because of internal & external fragmentation.... in variable partition when a process comes then according to need of process the size of memory is allocated to the process
advantages of static partition allocation scheme?
It supports multiprogramming since multiple processes can be stored inside the main memory.
What is a fixed partition system?
it is were your partition (the drive that your operating system is installed it ) has a fixed amount of space this can happen mainly because you have reached the maximum amount of space on your hard drive or it is set by your computer manufacturer to make room for your recover partition in the case that your system fails to start.

Is multitasking a logical extension of multiprogramming?
timesharing is logical extention of multiprogramming.
