Paging Structures & Concepts (OS micro deck 2)

Question 1

page

Answer 1

a fixed-size unit of data in memory management representing a portion of a process’s virtual address space

Question 2

page map table

Answer 2

a table used in virtual memory systems to track the mapping between virtual pages and physical frames

Question 3

paged memory technique

Answer 3

A memory-management method where a process’s logical memory is divided into fixed-size pages, and physical memory is divided into identically sized frames, allowing pages to be loaded into noncontiguous frames to reduce fragmentation.

Question 4

virtual memory

Answer 4

a memory management technique that creates an illusion of a large contiguous memory space by using disk storage to extend physical memory

Question 5
