Consider a swapping system with several partitions.The absolute version of such a system would require that programs be repeatedly swapped in and out of the same partition. The relocatable version would allow programs to be swapped in and out of any available partitions large enough to hold them, possibly different partitions on successive swaps.Assuming that main memory is many times the size of the average job, discuss the advantages of this multiple-user swapping scheme over the single-user swapping scheme described in the text.
What will be an ideal response?
The obvious advantage is the same as that for multiprogramming over the use of single-
user dedicated systems. Regardless of whether the system uses absolute or relocatable
swapping, it requires considerable additional memory over the single-user version with the
hope of achieving better processor and device utilization.
