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 see in the figure below. In this configuration, there is only one direction of growth, towards higher regions of the ...
