Differentiate between internal and external fragmentation? Suppose that we have memory of 100 KB with 5 partitions of size 150 KB, 200 KB, 250 KB, 100 KB, and 300 KB. Where the processes A and B of size 175 KB and 125 KB will be loaded, if we used Best-Fit, and Worst-Fit Strategy?

Aspect Internal Fragmentation External Fragmentation --------- Definition Wasted memory inside an allocated partition when the process is smaller than the block assigned to it Total free memory is enough, but it is split into scattered non-contiguous holes, none big enough for a request Location ...
