  2. Shadow paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_paging

    Shadow paging is similar to the old master–new master batch processing technique used in mainframe database systems. In these systems, the output of each batch run (possibly a day's work) was written to two separate disks or other form of storage medium. One was kept for backup, and the other was used as the starting point for the next day's ...

  3. Page table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_table

    There need not be only two levels, but possibly multiple ones. For example, a virtual address in this schema could be split into three parts: the index in the root page table, the index in the sub-page table, and the offset in that page. Multilevel page tables are also referred to as "hierarchical page tables".

  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 ...

    Oracle 2021, pp. 3–7 – "For each task, there is computer code; API (also known as Application Program Interface) is the method for calling that 'computer code' (instruction – like a recipe – rather than cooking instruction, this is machine instruction) to be carry out"

  6. Offset (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_(computer_science)

    In this (original) meaning of offset, only the basic address unit, usually the 8-bit byte, is used to specify the offset's size. In this context an offset is sometimes called a relative address. In IBM System/360 instructions, a 12-bit offset embedded within certain instructions provided a range of between 0 and 4096 bytes. For example, within ...

  7. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_layout

    There might also be relatively little layout to do in comparison to the amount of pagination (as in novels and other books with no figures). Typical page layout decisions include: Deciding on the number and size of columns and gutters (gaps between columns) Placement of intentional whitespace; Size and position of images and figures; Size of ...
