L 4

The size of a pointer to the nearest byte in a system with memory size 2^46 bytes is 8 bytes, as it requires 46 bits for addressing. The size of the process table for 500 processes, with each entry consisting of a pointer (8 bytes) and a PID (4 bytes), totals 6,000 bytes. Therefore, the process table size is calculated as 500 entries times 12 bytes per entry.

Consider a system with memory of size 2^46 bytes. M.

M is divided into fixed sized partitions each of


size 2^24 bytes. OS menatains a process table with one entry per process. Each entry has 2 fields,
First is pointer to partition and second is PID.
Assuming Size of PID is 4 bytes calculate
a) The size of pointer to nearest byte
b) Size of process table in Bytes if system has 500 processes
