internal fragmentation

Question

what will be ans ?

in paging system ,page size = 2048B , A process might need 15 frames . what is the maximum possible internal fragmentation size ..?

Comments

Internal fragmentation in paging lies always in last frame because if thats not the case process never asked for that frame.
So here page size=frame size=2048B
Process need 15 Frames and thus fragmentation lies in 15th frame.
where max could be 2047B because process only need 1B in last frame.
And the case should be like PROCESS A requested for 28,673 B where frame size =2048
Thus system allocated 15 Frames to process A .

Maximum size of internal fragmentation is 2047B. Because in one block a process might go for just one 1B.

I don't know why that 15 frames information is given here.

i think i got confuse with frame no ...

thanks

@ Ashwin Kulkarni   what if process size independent of page size max internal fragmantation??

If process size is independent of page size then what is the use of paging? Then you need to specify the memory management technique to calculate the max internal fragmentation.
