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.

How do you implement paging in Unix OS?
Paging is done automatically by the Unix system, so there is nothing the administrator needs to do to activate it, other than describing the swap partition, its size, and where it is.
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.
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 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 a memory characteristic where an application can request a specific item from memory?
Demand Paging
What is design issue of paging?
The design issue of paging is written as the Design Issues for Paging Systems. The Design Issues for Paging Systems helps sort out design issues in the start up of paging systems which require pages being loaded as needed, pages opened on demand, and programs being ran until there is a page fault.
What is a dirty page in Unix?
A dirty page is one that has been modified and does not exist in its current state in the paging file, so it has to be written out to replace the page in the disk.
The technique of swapping items between memory and storage?
It is paging.
When did Paging You end?
Paging You ended in 1946.
What is the Difference between paging and demand paging in operating system?
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. hey if you like my post don't forget to thank me....... for any further queries e-mail me at hemant_spidey3@yahoo.co.in or 1989hemantrajput@gmail.com
