Memory segmentation is an operating system memory management technique of dividing a computer's primary memory into segments or sections. In a computer...

x86 memory segmentation refers to the implementation of memory segmentation in the Intel x86 computer instruction set architecture. Segmentation was introduced...

computing, a segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault) or access violation is a fault, or failure condition, raised by hardware with memory protection...

the segment in memory, its size, and other data such as access protection bits and status (swapped in, swapped out, etc.) Segmentation allows better access...

of the available memory locations without having to resort to any sort of bank switching, memory segmentation or paging schemes. Memory management and address...

conceptually use more memory than might be physically available, using the technique of paging or segmentation. Virtual memory makes application programming...

dynamic memory allocation can frequently be a source of bugs. These can include security bugs or program crashes, most often due to segmentation faults...

Random-access memory (RAM; /ræm/) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data...

minimizing the program's RAM use. Subsequent architectures used memory segmentation, and individual program segments became the units exchanged between...

fails as the operating system runs out. A segmentation fault results when a program tries to access memory that it does not have permission to access...
