Paging


-Paging is storage mechanism that allows operating system to retrieve a process from the secondary memory into the main memory in the form of pages.
-In the paging method the memory is divided  into small fixed size block of the physical memory that is called frame.
-The size of the frame should be kept the same as that of pages to have maximum utilization of the main memory and to avoid external fragmentation.
-Paging is use for the faster access to the data and it is a logical concept.
