  2. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    In computer operating systems, memory paging (or swapping on some Unix-like systems) is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage [a] for use in main memory. [1]

  3. Page (computer memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_(computer_memory)

    A page, memory page, or virtual page is a fixed-length contiguous block of virtual memory, described by a single entry in a page table.It is the smallest unit of data for memory management in an operating system that uses virtual memory.

  4. Pagination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagination

    Pagination, also known as paging, is the process of dividing a document into discrete pages, either electronic pages or printed pages.. In reference to books produced without a computer, pagination can mean the consecutive page numbering to indicate the proper order of the pages, which was rarely found in documents pre-dating 1500, and only became common practice c. 1550, when it replaced ...

  5. Page table - Wikipedia

    In this case the page is paged out to a secondary store located on a medium such as a hard disk drive (this secondary store, or "backing store", is often called a swap partition if it is a disk partition, or a swap file, swapfile or page file if it is a file).

  7. Demand paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_paging

    In computer operating systems, demand paging (as opposed to anticipatory paging) is a method of virtual memory management. In a system that uses demand paging, the operating system copies a disk page into physical memory only when an attempt is made to access it and that page is not already in memory (i.e., if a page fault occurs).

  9. Page replacement algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_replacement_algorithm

    If present in memory and not privately modified the physical page is shared with file cache or buffer. Shared memory acquired through shm_open. The tmpfs in-memory filesystem; written to swap when paged out. The file cache including; written to the underlying block storage (possibly going through the buffer, see below) when paged out.
