Simulator
Learn to play with the simulator of address translation so that you get a better understanding of how it works!
We'll cover the following...
This program allows you to see how address translations are performed in a
system with base and bounds registers. As before, there are two steps to
running the program to test out your understanding of base and bounds. First,
run without the -c
flag to generate a set of translations and see if you can
correctly perform the address translations yourself. Then, when done, run with
the -c
flag to check your answers.
In this exercise, we will assume a slightly different address space than our canonical one with a heap and stack at opposite ends of the space. Rather, we will assume that the address space has a code section, then a fixed-sized (small) stack, and a heap that grows downward right after, looking something like you ...
