Memory Model for multiple stacks
Without an MMU (and thus without virtual memory), how are stacks from multiple threads/processes laid out in memory? The basic description of the memory model only describes how a single stack grows from high to low addresses. With multiple stacks, is a fixed portion of RAM pre-allocated for each stack? How, in that case, is overflow/collision detected?
