 Advantages of Demanding Paging
 With the help of Demand Paging, memory is utilized efficiently.

 Demand paging avoids External Fragmentation.

 Less Input/Output is needed for Demand Paging.

 This process is not constrained by the size of physical memory.

 With Demand Paging it becomes easier to share the pages.

 With this technique, portions of the process that are never called are never loaded.

 No compaction is required in demand Paging.

Disadvantages of Demand Paging

 There is an increase in overheads due to interrupts and page tables.

 Memory access time in demand paging is longer.

Advantages of Segment Paging

 It reduces memory usage.
 Page table size is limited by the segment size.
 Segment table has only one entry corresponding to one actual segment.
 External Fragmentation is not there.
 It simplifies memory allocation.

Disadvantages of Segment Paging

 Internal Fragmentation will be there.
 The complexity level will be much higher as compared to paging.
 Page Tables need to be contiguously stored in the memory.
 How Does the FIFO Paging System Works
The easiest page replacement algorithm is this one. With this process, the operating system keeps
a queue with the oldest page at the front of the list of all memory pages. When a page must be
changed, the first page in the queue is chosen for removal.

How Does the LRU Aging Systems Works

This hypothesis suggested a useful algorithm: whenever a page fault occurs, discard the page
which has been idle for the longest period. This method of paging is called LRU (Least Recently
Used). The current value of C is stored in the page table entry for the page that was simply
referenced after each memory reference.
