Memory Allocation Techniques
Memory allocation techniques:
- Best Fit Allocation :
Best Fit is a memory allocation technique where the operating system allocates the smallest available block of memory that is large enough to accommodate a process. This minimizes memory wastage but can lead to fragmentation over time, making it less efficient for long-running systems.
- Next Fit Allocation :
Next Fit is a memory allocation technique where the operating system allocates the next available block of memory that is large enough for a process. It simplifies allocation but may result in increased fragmentation compared to Best Fit. It's often used when simplicity and speed of allocation are important.

Best Fit Allocation
Best Fit is a memory allocation technique where the operating system allocates the smallest available block of memory that is large enough to accommodate a process. This minimizes memory wastage but can lead to fragmentation over time, making it less efficient for long-running systems.
Next Fit Allocation :
Next Fit is a memory allocation technique where the operating system allocates the next available block of memory that is large enough for a process. It simplifies allocation but may result in increased fragmentation compared to Best Fit. It's often used when simplicity and speed of allocation are important.
This methods are used to memory blocks to processes as per requirements of processes.
