x86 memory segmentation
Protection thus mirrors memory address translation where both segmentation
and I/O benchmarks suffered from runtime memory segmentation faults when
Real mode segment starts range from 0 all the way to 0xFFFF0 (16 bytes short
The use of segment registers in segmented memory model
Required reading: Chapter 3 (Protected-Mode Memory). x86 translation diagram
Segmentation in a 32 bit x86 system. Since the processor knows what segments
Project 4: (Virtual Memory) replaces the segmentation based user memory
A single x86 instruction may need many source operands when memory is
Solution: Paged segmentation (x86 architecture). Segmentation hardware:
