A simple scheme for relocating programs in multiprogramming environments involves the use of a single relocation register.All programs are translated to locations beginning at zero, but every address developed as the program executes is modified by adding to it the contents of the processor’s relocation register. Discuss the use and control of the relocation register in variable-partition multiprogramming.

What will be an ideal response?


Assuming contiguous memory allocation, the relocation register would have to be
loaded at context-switching time with the base address of the program in the partition
becoming active.
