  2. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    However, a large page file generally allows the use of memory-heavy applications, with no penalties besides using more disk space. While a fragmented page file may not be an issue by itself, fragmentation of a variable size page file will over time create several fragmented blocks on the drive, causing other files to become fragmented.

  3. Page (computer memory) - Wikipedia

    Similarly, a page frame is the smallest fixed-length contiguous block of physical memory into which memory pages are mapped by the operating system. [1] [2] [3] A transfer of pages between main memory and an auxiliary store, such as a hard disk drive, is referred to as paging or swapping. [4]

    Once you save a red link there, and create the page, the link will turn blue and will be accessible anytime you visit it. Go to your user or user talk page (both permanently linked at the top of any Wikipedia page); Surround the page title you want to create in doubled brackets, e.g., [[Proposed Title]]; Click the Publish changes button;

  5. Page cache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_cache

    Pages in the page cache modified after being brought in are called dirty pages. [5] Since non-dirty pages in the page cache have identical copies in secondary storage (e.g. hard disk drive or solid-state drive), discarding and reusing their space is much quicker than paging out application memory, and is often preferred over flushing the dirty pages into secondary storage and reusing their space.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
