About this document

Internal vs External Fragmentation Explained by hayat30569 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Internal fragmentation occurs when fixed-sized memory blocks are allocated to processes that require less memory, leading to wasted space within allocated blocks. In contrast, external fragmentation arises when variable-sized memory blocks are allocated and later freed, resulting in small unusable gaps between allocated memory segments. Solutions include using best-fit blocks for internal fragmentation and compaction or paging for external fragmentation.
