  2. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

  3. Page (computer memory) - Wikipedia

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

    If a reader wanted to find, for example, the 5,000th word in the book, they could count from the first word. This would be time-consuming. It would be much faster if the reader had a listing of how many words are on each page. From this listing they could determine which page the 5,000th word appears on, and how many words to count on that page.

  4. 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). When this happens the page needs to be taken from disk and put back into physical memory.

  5. Page fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_fault

    In computing, a page fault is an exception that the memory management unit (MMU) raises when a process accesses a memory page without proper preparations. Accessing the page requires a mapping to be added to the process's virtual address space. Furthermore, the actual page contents may need to be loaded from a back-up, e.g. a disk.

  6. Memory segmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_segmentation

    In a system using segmentation, computer memory addresses consist of a segment id and an offset within the segment. [3] A hardware memory management unit (MMU) is responsible for translating the segment and offset into a physical address, and for performing checks to make sure the translation can be done and that the reference to that segment and offset is permitted.

  8. mmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmap

    File-backed mapping maps an area of the process's virtual memory to files; that is, reading those areas of memory causes the file to be read. It is the default mapping type. Anonymous mapping maps an area of the process's virtual memory not backed by any file, made available via the MAP_ANONYMOUS/MAP_ANON flags.
