In this chapter, we described one way to compact memory. Some people suggest an alternate method: all jobs could be copied to a secondary storage device and them reloaded and relocated contiguously into main memory, thus creating one free block after all jobs have been recopied into memory.

Is this viable? Could you devise a better way to compact memory? Write your algorithm and explain why it is better.
