Describe segmentation-based virtual memory. You should consider the components of a
memory address, the segment table and its contents, and how the final physical address is
formed in your answer
Answer:
-Segmentation-based virtual memory is a scheme supporting the user view of memory, that is, a program is divided into segments such as main(), function(), stack etc. A segmented memory address is distinguished by its segment number and offset. The segment table has a base (starting PADDR where a segment resides) and limit (length of the segment) column – physical addresses are formed by coalescing base and limit registers.
