Conventional Memory
The memory addresses from 0 to 640 KB are known as conventional memory. This range was primarily used in early personal computers, specifically in the context of the x86 architecture. It was the area of RAM available for use by MS-DOS and older operating systems, where most applications and programs would operate. Beyond this range, from 640 KB to 1 MB, is known as upper memory.
The original 1981 IBM PC used an Intel 8088 CPU which had an address space of 1 megabyte. The lower 640KB of the address space (a huge amount for the day) was dedicated to RAM and the rest was dedicated to ROM and graphics memory. The ROM contained BIOS for booting and simple device drivers, and a BASIC interpreter. Intel x86 CPUs from the 286 onward have had much larger address spaces, but for backward compatibility they all have hardware modes where they can pretend to be an 8086, with its 1MB limitation.
for 16 MB memory has 24 address lines
An array of pointers to string would contain, per array position, a number dictating which memory address holds the string data. For example, position [0] in an array would contain a memory address. This memory address can be de-referenced to obtain the actual information held within that memory address.
Test 0 [Address test, walking ones, no cache]Tests all address bits in all memory banks by using a walking ones address pattern.
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.
If the architecture allows each individual byte to be adressed then there are 4,000,000 possible addresses ranging from 0 to 3,999,999. So the largest address is 3,999,999 which is 3D08FF in hexadecimal representation
In my debugger it is%D V'0'your debugger may use other commands.
The I bit is 0 so the instruction is recognice as a direct address instruction The indirect address instruction needs 2 referance to memory to fetch & opened The I bit is 1 so the instruction is recognice as a indirect address instructionhe
== Java does not allow reference to memory locations. == In C: for (i=0; i<n; ++i) printf ("a[%d] is at %p\n", i, &a[i]);
A universal pointer is a pointer variable that does not specify the type being pointed at. That is, it can be used to store any memory address regardless of the type of object actually stored at that address. It can be likened to a variable type, but you cannot dereference the memory address without providing some mechanism for determining the actual type stored at that memory address. Generally you would use a universal pointer when you don't actually care what type resides at the address, you are only interested in the address itself. But just as a typed pointer can point to 0 (or NULL), so can a universal pointer, which simply means it points at nothing at all.
We are have a two dimensional array, A: array[0..199,0..199] of characters. The contents of the array are stored in memory in row-major order starting at memory address 200. (i.e. A[0,0] is at address 200, A[0,1] is at address 201, ... A[0,99] is at address 299, A[1,0] is at address 300, etc.). In our computer each page of memory consists of 400 bytes (1 character takes up 1 byte), and there are three physical frames available to a process, one of which is taken up by the code segment currently being run. Assuming only the code segment page is initially loaded into memory, and an LRU page replacement algorithm is being used, determines how many page faults are caused by the array accesses in the following two code segments: // Code Segment A: for(j=0;j
