From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
flat address space location can be selected from a single contiguous block by a single integer offset. Almost all popular {processors} have a flat address space, but the {Intel x86} family has a {segmented address space}. A flat address space greatly simplifies programming because of the simple correspondence between addresses (pointers) and integers. (1996-09-10) |
