paging is the process of memory management in which memory is allocated in the non contiguous form,i.e. the program is break into block of fixed size known as page and also the main memory also break down into block of same size known as frame or page frame.
Now all this page are brought into the main memory but in the space available so they can be contiguous if they find whole space required by the program or if the space is available but in scattered form then they can give space in non contiguous form.
But in demand paging only those pages are brought into main memory which are required to execute the program at that time when a program need other pages it will swap out the unused pages from the main memory and swap in the desired page thus allowing it to execute the program though the space available is not sufficient to bring the whole program into main memory..................One of the problem arises due to demand paging is page fault which is caused due to required page not found in main memory for which we require swapping.

When an operating system spends much of its time paging it is called?
Thrashing
What is demand paging in operating system?
It is a memory managermnet concept where the operating system copies the dats from the disk space to the main memory (RAM) only when is trying to access the page. it is like we have to attempt the page again, when the page fault has occured while trying to get the data.
When an operating system spends time paging instead of executing application software is what?
thrashing
What operating system will allow you to simultaneously run more programs than the physical memory of the computer will hold?
Any operating system that allows for "paging" or "swapping" is capable of this.
What is advantages of paging in operating system?
Paging has many advantages. First of all, paging allows you to relocate memory areas to other places where they are more useful. For example, any operating system must divide memory in two areas, one for the operating system itself (OS, data, management tables, ...) and one for the user programs. The area for the OS must be subdivided into areas to store each driver and its data. The area for the user must be subdivided to store each program and its data.
What is difference between demand paging n pure demand paging?
In demand paging, a page is not loaded into main memory until it is needed. In pure demand paging, even a single page is not loaded into memory initially. Hence pure demand paging causes a page fault. Page fault, the situation in which the page is not available whenever a processor needs to execute it.
What difference between paging?
Difference between paging and what?
Explain how virtual memory system using demand paging?
Demand paging is a process which involves the copying and relocation of data from a secondary storage system to random access memory (RAM), a main memory storage system. Demand paging copies and relocates data to facilitate the fastest access to that data. Once the data is relocated, demand paging sends a command to the operating system to inform it that the data file or files are now ready to be loaded. Demand paging is performed on demand, or after a command has been sent to retrieve specific data.
What is a Difference between default paging and custom paging?
Default paging is what it already comes with. It is a pre-made template, while custom paging would be ones on ideas and creativity.
What are the differences between simple paging and virtual memory paging?
In case of simple paging all pages should be in main memory to run a process..while in case of virtual memory paging pages can be loaded as needed by the processor i.e. called demand paging...
What is difference between paging and swapping?
Nothing -- they are the same thing.
What is demand paging in Unix?
In computer operating systems, demand paging is an application of virtual memory. In a system that uses demand paging, the operating system copies a disk page into physical memory only if an attempt is made to access it (i.e., if a page fault occurs). It follows that a process begins execution with none of its pages in physical memory, and many page faults will occur until most of a process's working set of pages is located in physical memory. This is an example of lazy loading techniques.
The technique of swapping items between memory and storage?
It is paging.

What is a memory characteristic where an application can request a specific item from memory?
Demand Paging

Why paging is needed?
Paging is a way for the operating system to load data from a storage device onto RAM. When there is insufficient amount of space in RAM and if a page file is enabled, it will swap data between RAM and the swap file (typically on a storage device).
