Fragmentation occurs in a dynamic memory allocation system when many of the free blocks are too small to satisfy any request. 

External Fragmentation: External Fragmentation happens when a dynamic memory allocation algorithm allocates some memory and a small piece is left over that cannot be effectively used. If too much external fragmentation occurs, the amount of usable memory is drastically reduced. Total memory space exists to satisfy a request, but it is not contiguous. 

Internal Fragmentation: Internal fragmentation is the space wasted inside of allocated memory blocks because of restriction on the allowed sizes of allocated blocks. Allocated memory may be slightly larger than requested memory; this size difference is memory internal to a partition, but not being used

Dispatcher module gives control of the CPU to the process selected by the short-term scheduler; this involves: Switching context, Switching to user mode, Jumping to the proper location in the user program to restart that program, dispatch latency – time it takes for the dispatcher to stop one process and start another running.

RST 6.5 & RST 5.5 are level-triggering interrupts.

Compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was co-developed by Philips and Sony and released in 1982. 

These are actually made to replace floppy disks that were used to store files and programs from the computer.

The format was originally developed to store and play only sound recordings but was later adapted for storage of data (CD-ROM).ese CD's uses Laser technology.
