Memory management algorithms can vary widely among different hardware architectures and operating systems, depending on their goals and constraints. Examples include first-fit, best-fit, next-fit, buddy system, demand paging, clock algorithm, least recently used (LRU) algorithm and segmentation with paging. First-fit is a simple and fast partitioning algorithm that allocates the first available partition large enough to fit the request; however, it can cause internal fragmentation and poor memory utilization. Best-fit is a partitioning algorithm that allocates the smallest available partition large enough to fit the request, reducing internal fragmentation but increasing external fragmentation and allocation time. Next-fit is a partitioning algorithm that allocates the next available partition large enough to fit the request, reducing allocation time and external fragmentation but increasing internal fragmentation and memory wastage. Buddy system is a partitioning algorithm that allocates memory space in powers of two, reducing fragmentation and allocation overhead but increasing memory wastage and complexity. Demand paging is a paging algorithm that loads pages into main memory only when they are needed by processes or programs, improving memory utilization and response time but increasing memory access time and page fault rate. Clock algorithm is a paging algorithm that uses a circular list of pages and reference bit to determine which pages to swap out, reducing memory access time and page fault rate but increasing memory management overhead. LRU algorithm is a paging algorithm that swaps out pages not used for longest time, optimizing memory access time and page fault rate but increasing memory management overhead. Finally, segmentation with paging is a hybrid technique combining segmentation and paging to achieve both protection/sharing and efficiency/performance; however, it can increase complexity due to two levels of translation/mapping.
