In a contiguous memory allocation there is no overhead during execution of a program. In a non contiguous memory allocation address translation is performed during execution.

What is the difference between continuous and contiguous memory allocation?

Contiguous is a word that is used normally when objects are spatially adjacent and Continuous is a word that is normally used when events are adjacent in time. This usage is probably the reason why arrays are "contiguously" allocated and not "continuously" allocated. On the other hand, a function f(t) is "continuous" and not "contiguous".


What is difference between a scheduler and a dispatcher?

DISPATCHER?The dispatcher is the module that gives control of the CPU to the process selected by the short-time scheduler(selects from among the processes that are ready to execute).The function involves :Swithching contextSwitching to user modeJumping to the proper location in the user program to restart that program.SCHEDULER? Normally there are 3 types of schedulers are available in operating systems.1. Long term scheduler2. Mid term scheduler3. Short term schedulerThe short term scheduler is also called as the dispatcher which selects the process from the waiting queue and allocates the CPU to that process.Whereas the Long term scheduler (Admission scheduler) decides which process should be placed in the main memory and updates the waiting queue. This long scheduler is important in the large bound systems like super computers and may not be used frequently as the short term scheduler.The mis term scheduler available in all systems which is responsible for the swapping in and out operations which means loading the process into, main memory from secondary memory (swap in) and take out the process from main memory and store it into the secondary memory (swap out).


What is the different between compose pit and compose heap?

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the technical stuff! So, like, the main difference between a compose pit and a compose heap is that a compose pit is a reserved area of memory for storing objects that are no longer in use, while a compose heap is a more general term for dynamically allocated memory. It's like the pit is where you toss your old stuff, and the heap is where you go shopping for new stuff.


Is a sprung mattress better than a foam mattress?

I would personnaly say memory foam is the best (foam) as it is soft, comfortable and takes the shape of your body once you have been lying on it.
