Benefits of binding at load time

Question

List out some the benefits of binding at load time over binding at the assembly time.

Answer 1

The benefits of binding at load time over binding at assembly time are as follows:

a) Better utilization of memory: Due to binding at load time, there is no wastage of the memory due to unused instructions and linkages. Therefore, the memory is better utilized with just required links in it.

b) Increased throughput: The CPU is better utilized and therefore it raises the throughput.

c) Execution of programs bigger than available memory is possible.

d) Pre-emptiveness of methods leads to the better multiprogramming.
