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.

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.
