linear address space linear address spaceA memory addressing scheme used in processors where the wholememory can be accessed using a single address that fits in asingle register or instruction. This contrasts with asegmented memory architecture, such as that used on theIntel 8086, where an address is given by an offset from abase address held in one of the "segment registers". Linearaddressing greatly simplifies programming at the assembly language level but requires more instruction word bits to beallocated for an address. |
