Memory management is one of the core functions of the operating system as it governs the allocation
Question:
Memory management is one of the core functions of the operating system as it governs the allocation and the deallocation of memory to various threads and processes. It also tracks the storage media of which memory part is being used and which memory part is not being used. At the time of the process memory request, the operating system also helps to allocate the memory. The two commonly used memory allocation methods are dynamic and static allocation. In cases of memory shortage, then the operating system performs deallocation.
Assume that for some reason, the operating system is not able to carry out memory deallocation. What effect will this have on the overall system performance? Discuss in details.
