Single user contiguous scheme is a memory allocation technique where a single block of contiguous memory is allocated to a process. This means that the entire memory space needed by a process must be available in a single block without any breaks or fragmentation. It simplifies memory management but can lead to wastage of memory due to fragmentation.
In contiguous allocation there is no overhead during execution of a program. In noncontiguous allocation address translation is performed during execution Contiguous memory allocates single area of memory Noncontigious memory allocates several memory areas - one memory are to each component of a process
in early, computer system has contiguous memory allocation,each process is allocated in a single contiguous(together) memory!!(allocating into memory addresses one by one,)it has tackled memory fragmentation(both internal and external). not allocating for a fixed size memory block.so no internal fragmentation, allocating contiguously ,so no external fragmentation!!!
Dfference between contiguous and noncontiguous1) In contiguous allocation there is no overhead during execution of a program.1)In noncontiguous allocation address translation is performed during execution2)Contiguous memory allocates single area of memory2)Noncontigious memory allocates several memory areas - one memory are to each component of a process

Arrays exist in contiguous memory, so you can use simple pointer arithmetic to access any element by its offset from the start address (the array name is an alias for the start address), and can pass the entire array to functions as a single entity. Lists of variables are not guaranteed to exist in contiguous memory, and cannot be passed to functions as a single entity.
A variable is a reference to a single object (often a number, character, or string of characters). An array is a reference to a contiguous block of memory in which zero or more individual objects.
A simple linked-list is an approach is to store the freelist of memory blocks, where each node of the linked list contains a pointer to a single free block in the memory pool.
It contains a 32 bit CPU, a floating-point math coprocessor, unified instruction and data cache memory and memory management unit in a single IC.
Contiguous Space: Multiple suites/spaces within the same building and on the same floor which can be combined and rented to a single tenant.
a directional advantage
Single-sided memory has memory chips on only one side of the module, while double-sided memory has memory chips on both sides. Double-sided memory typically has a higher memory capacity than single-sided memory due to more chips being present.
