Random access to the stack segment is not provided in the 8086 architecture. True or false?
Answers
Answer: False
Explanation:
8086 Microprocessor - Random Access Stack Exchange
To explain the solution to the problem we need to give some details about segmentation. Segmentation is a process by which the processor memory is divided(logically) into different segments. This helps in increasing the speed of execution of the running processes, as the processor is able to get the data from the memory instantly.
The 8086 microprocessor also supports the memory segmentation and it also divides its memory into various segments. The access to the required segment is defined by the address bit of the message. This process of passing the address bit with the message, helps the processor to randomly access any part of the memory instead of a sequential read.
Thus, the statement ‘Random access to the stack segment Is not provided in the 8086 architecture’ is False and it does provide random access to stack segment.
Segmentation is nothing but partitioning of memory to have quick access. Each segment has its own base address. Segmentation is done to increase the execution speed of CPU.
It starts with the particular address and it can have maximum of 64 bytes. The data will be placed in different segment that is wherever space is available and then fetches to the user together whenever needed. An offset is nothing but a logical address.
