Paging and Segmentation


Paging is a scheme for the management of memory by which a computer can store and retrieve data from the secondary storage for the use of main memory. It is a technique that help us to available the data as quickly as possible. In this scheme OS copies certain number of pages into main memory, when a program requires any page then it quickly retrieve from it. If it does not found a page then invalid page fault occurs, then it copies a page from hard drive and copy a backup of page into main memory.


Segmentation is the division of computer’s primary memory into segments or sections. To find reference to a memory location includes a value two things i.e. value that identifies segment and offset. It is also one of the way of implementing memory protection. Segmentation is a logical unit, visible to the user’s program and is of arbitrary size and paging is a physical unit visible to the user’s program and is of fixed size.
