Partitions can be of equal or unequal sizes set by hardware - has internal fragmentation (Unequal-size partitions lessens these)
- A program may be too large → design the program with overlays
queue(s) fixed partitioning
Placement algorithm with “unequal size” partitions use of multiple queues(minimize internal fragmentation) → some queue will empty → use of single queue (increase internal fragmentation)
internal means internal of partition
