Divides virtual and physical memory into fixed-size blocks (pages and frames, typically 4 KB). Enables non-contiguous allocation, demand loading, and efficient swapping. Page faults trigger loading pages from disk into RAM.

Key Properties

  • Page Faults
  • Demand Paging
  • Page Replacement Algorithms
