Segmentation<br />

– Provide the machine with many independent<br />

address spaces: SEGMENTS<br />

– Each segment consists of a linear sequence<br />

of addresses (0 to some maximum)<br />

– Different segments can, and usually do, have<br />

different lengths<br />

– Segment lengths can change during program<br />

execution and they can do so independently<br />

of one another<br />
