2095	 Measurements of Segment Size	 Distributions of segment sizes measured under routine operating con ditions on a computer system which utilizes variable sized segments the Burroughs B are discussed. The most striking feature of the measurements is the large number of small segments-about percent of the segments in use contain less than words. Although the results are certainly not installation independent and although they are particularly influenced by features of the B ALGOL system they should be relevant to the design of new computer systems especially with respect to the organization of paging schemes. storage allocation segmentation segment sizes page sizes paging resource allocation memory allocation core utilization
