Given three subroutines of 550, 290, and 600 words each, if segmentation is used then the total memory needed is the sum of the three sizes (if all three routines are loaded). However, if paging is used then some storage space is lost because subroutines rarely fill the last page completely, and that results in internal fragmentation. Determine the total amount of wasted memory due to internal fragmentation when the three subroutines are loaded into memory using each of the following page sizes:
a. 100 words
b. 600 words
c. 700 words
d. 900 words
Hint: you may want to consider making a table with job size and page size on the x and y axis to answer the questions.
Suppose that a 16M X 16 main memory is built using 512K X 8 RAM chips and memory is word addressable.
a) How many RAM chips are necessary?
b) How many RAM chips are needed for each memory word?
c) How many address bits are needed for each RAM chip?
d) How many address bits are needed for all memory?
