    The document discusses different types of loaders. Loaders are system software programs that perform loading functions like allocating memory space, loading programs into memory for execution, and relocating programs as needed. The types of loaders discussed are compile-and-go loaders, absolute loaders, relocating loaders, and direct-linking loaders. Relocating loaders allow programs to be relocated to different memory addresses and perform allocation and linking tasks for programmers.

    LOADERS
     A loader is a system software program that
    performs the loading function.

     Loading is the process of placing the program


    into memory for execution.

     Loader is responsible for initiating the


    execution of the process.
    FUNDAMENTAL PROCESS OF
    LOADERS
     Allocation : the space for program is allocated in
    the main memory, by calculating the size of the
    program
     Loading - brings the object program into memory
    for execution.
     Relocation - modifies the object program so that it
    can be loaded at an address different from the
    location originally specified.
     Linking - which combines two or more separate
    object programs and supplies the necessary
    information.
    TYPES OF LOADER

     Compile and go loader

     Absolute Loader

     Relocating Loader (Relative Loader)

     Direct Linking Loader


    COMPILE-AND-GO LOADER
     In compile and go loader is a link editor/program
    loader in which the assembler itself places the
    assembled instruction directly into the designated
    memory locations for execution.
     The instruction are read line by line, its machine code
    is obtained and it is directly put in the main memory at
    some known address.
     After completion of assembly process, it assigns the
    starting address of the program to the location counter.
     The assembler is first executed and it, when it is
    finished, causes a branch straight to the first
    instruction of the program.
    ABSOLUTE LOADERS

     In this scheme the assembler outputs the


    machine language translation of the source
    program in almost the same form as in the
    "Compile and go". except that the data is
    punched on cards. Here it will directly
    placed in memory.
    To avoid possible reassembling of all
    RELOCATING LOADERS

    subroutines when a single subroutine is


    changed and to perform the tasks of allocation
    and linking for the programmer the relocating
    loaders is introduced
     BINARY SYMBOLIC SUBROUTINE(BSS)
    loader such as used in the IBM 7094 IBM 1130,GE 635.

     The BSS loader allows many procedure segments but


    only one data (common)segment.

     The assembler assembles each procedures segment


    independently and passes to loader the text and
    information as to relocation and intersegment
    references.

     The output of the relocating assembler using a BSS


    scheme is the Object program and information about
    all other program its references.
    DIRECT-LINKING LOADERS
     A direct-linking loader is a relocatable loader
     It has advantage of allowing programmer
    multiple procedure segments and multiple
    data segments.
     Complete freedom in referencing data or
    instructions contained in other segments,
    provides flexible intersegment referencing.
     The assembler should give the following
    information to the loader:
