Subject : Operating System

Period: Third

Topic: Memory Management

Teaching Item: Introduction to Memory Management

Class: BICT 4th Semester

Unit: Two

Time: 50 min

No. of Students: 20

1. Specific Objective:

At the end of this lesson, students will be able:

  • Define memory management and its importance in an operating system.
  • Identify various memory management strategies: Single Contiguous Allocation, Partitioned Allocation, Paged Memory Management, and Segmented Memory Management.

2. Instructional materials:

3. Teaching Learning Activities:

  • I will enter the classroom and greet the students and will motivate them before starting the lesson for their concentration on the lesson, and then I will write today's topic on the board.
  • Why is memory management important in an operating system? Begin the class by asking questions to gauge prior knowledge: Can anyone explain what memory management is?
  • Open the presentation slide and briefly introduce the concept of memory management and its significance in operating systems. Explain the importance of memory management in detail in multi-processing environment.
  • Introduce each of the memory management strategies like: Single Contiguous Allocation: Memory is allocated to a process in a single contiguous block., Partitioned Allocation: Memory is divided into fixed-size partitions and processes are allocated memory from these partitions., Paged Memory Management: Memory is divided into fixed-size blocks called pages. Processes are divided into blocks called pages as well., and Segmented Memory Management: Memory is divided into variable-size segments. Each segment represents a logical division of a program.
  • Summarize the key points covered in the lesson. And encourage students to ask questions and clarify doubts.

4. Assessment:

During the session, ask questions like,

  • Which memory management strategy allocates memory to a process in a single block?
  • In which memory management strategy is memory divided into fixed-size partitions?
  • What are the main differences between paged and segmented memory management?

5. Evaluation:

Explain about memory management along its importance and its various strategies.
