Introduction to Paging
Explore the concept of paging as a memory management strategy that divides memory into fixed-size pages and frames to address fragmentation issues inherent in variable-sized segmentation. Understand the historical development and key techniques enabling efficient virtual memory virtualization with paging.

It is sometimes said that the operating system takes one of two approaches when solving most any space-management problem. The first approach is to chop things up into variable-sized pieces, as we saw with segmentation in virtual memory. Unfortunately, this solution has inherent difficulties. In particular, when dividing a space into different-size chunks, the space itself can become fragmented, ...
