$1.$ Suppose you have a memory system using fixed$-$size partitions with all partitions the same size, $2$

$24$

bytes and a total main memory size of $2$

$32$ bytes. In the process table there is a pointer to a partition

for each resident process. How many bits are needed for this pointer?

$2.$ A system has $2$

$32$ bytes of physical memory and uses paging. Each page is $2$

$12$ bytes and there are $2$

$16$

pages total in the virtual address space. $($Recall that not all of the physical memory is available for

processes.$)$

$($a$)$ How many bits are in a virtual address?

$($b$)$ How many bytes are in a frame?

$($c$)$ How many bits in the real address specify the start address of the frame?
