A portion of memory allocated to a device is commonly referred to as a memory-mapped I/O space or device memory. This area of memory is reserved for the device to store data related to its operations, such as buffers for input/output processing. It allows the CPU to communicate with the device by reading from and writing to specific memory addresses associated with that device. This allocation is essential for efficient data transfer and control between the CPU and peripheral devices.

Is memory allocated at runtime for the static variables?

No. Static memory is allocated at compile time. Static variables are allocated within the program's data segment which is a physical part of the executable. When you load the executable into memory, the operating system sets aside enough memory for the entire executable and copies it, byte for byte, into that memory. So when the program is executed, the data segment is already allocated.


What do you mean by run time memory allocation?
