  2. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    In computing, Physical Address Extension (PAE), sometimes referred to as Page Address Extension, [1] is a memory management feature for the x86 architecture. PAE was first introduced by Intel in the Pentium Pro, and later by AMD in the Athlon processor. [2]

  3. Control register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_register

    If PAE is enabled or the processor is in x86-64 long mode this bit is ignored. [14] 5: PAE: Physical Address Extension: If set, changes page table layout to translate 32-bit virtual addresses into extended 36-bit physical addresses. 6: MCE: Machine Check Exception: If set, enables machine check interrupts to occur. 7: PGE: Page Global Enabled

    PAE enables physical addresses beyond 4GB. 32-bit Windows OSs are limited to 4GB of virtual address space. Jeh 05:07, 8 January 2010 (UTC) The MikroS-PR marketed in-genius cover up and MS pr-dept. have to feed 'MS do not lience PAE' what mean == 'PAE does not work on 32 MikS. It works fine on 32-bit Server editions.

  5. Page table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_table

    It was mentioned that creating a page table structure that contained mappings for every virtual page in the virtual address space could end up being wasteful. But, we can get around the excessive space concerns by putting the page table in virtual memory, and letting the virtual memory system manage the memory for the page table.

  6. 3 GB barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier

    Many 32-bit computers have 32 physical address bits and are thus limited to 4 GiB (2 32 words) of memory. [3] [4] x86 processors prior to the Pentium Pro have 32 or fewer physical address bits; however, most x86 processors since the Pentium Pro, which was first sold in 1995, have the Physical Address Extension (PAE) mechanism, [5]: 445 which allows addressing up to 64 GiB (2 36 words) of memory.

  7. NX bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit

    The NX bit (no-execute) is a technology used in CPUs to segregate areas of a virtual address space to store either data or processor instructions. An operating system with support for the NX bit may mark certain areas of an address space as non-executable. The processor will then refuse to execute any code residing in these areas of the address ...

  8. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    Paging is one way of allowing the size of the addresses used by a process, which is the process's "virtual address space" or "logical address space", to be different from the amount of main memory actually installed on a particular computer, which is the physical address space.

  9. Intel 5-level paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_5-level_paging

    4-level paging of the 64-bit mode. In the 4-level paging scheme (previously known as IA-32e paging), the 64-bit virtual memory address is divided into five parts. The lowest 12 bits contain the offset within the 4 KiB memory page, and the following 36 bits are evenly divided between the four 9 bit descriptors, each linking to a 64-bit page table entry in a 512-entry page table for each of the ...
