Class task segmentation and paging:

Compare intel 32bit, x86 and arm architectures by considering paging and
segmentation mechanisms also mention in 5 points each which approach is
better for the 3 architectures

Intel 32bit Intel x86 Intel ARM

 Intel 32 bits  Intel X86 uses  Paging technique is
architecture uses Segmentation non- faster in terms of
paging method or contiguous memory access
techniques which is memory allocation
used for scheme like paging.
noncontiguous like paging
memory allocation
 It is a fixed size  segments are of  The user specified
partitioning variable address is divided
by CPU into a page
number and offset.
 Frames do not have  Simple to relocate  The page table
