Here's a technique for swapping a calling program into expanded memory or onto disk -- and back -- so that a child process can have more free memory. This is particularly useful when one program invokes another says Kim.

Paging is the 80386's answer to the memory management for multitasking operating systems. In this article, Neal examines how the 386 handles this complex task.

Demand paging involves the dynamic partitioning of a program's linear address space into individual "pages." It comes as no surprise that different CPU's such as Intel's 80386, Motorola's 68030, and AMD's Am29000 manage pages differently.
