Can any number of concurrent processes be protected from each other by just one pair of base/bounds registers?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes (up to the limits of other machine resources). The operative word isconcurrent. Even though many processes are concurrent, only one is in active execution (i.e., using the CPU) at any instant. Therefore, one pair of base/bounds registerswill suffice to limit its addressing, thereby protecting all otherusers. Notice that the security technique is to prevent the one active process from harming other users.
