Summary
Explore the mechanisms of virtual memory and swapping in operating systems. Understand how the OS manages memory beyond physical limits by handling page faults, using page tables with present bits, and transparently swapping pages between disk and memory for efficient process execution.

In this brief chapter, we have introduced the notion of accessing more memory than is physically present within a system. To do so requires more complexity in page-table structures, as a present bit (of some kind) must be ...
