What is Understanding Data Alignment in Memory about?

Data alignment increases system performance by placing data at memory offsets that are multiples of the word size, allowing the CPU to efficiently fetch or write instructions and data from memory in whole machine words. Compilers add unused padding bytes to data structures to efficiently align them in memory and enable the CPU to access multiple bytes in a single memory operation.
