Paging Example (fig 8-9)
Given:
N=2 bits
M=4 bits
Page size=4 B
Physical mem. Size=32 B
# of pages= 8 pages
>>How to convert from logical address to physical
address in paging???
Physical address = base address+ offset
= (frame # * frame size) + offset
PagingArithmetic Laws
Page size = frame size
Logical address space (/size) = 2
m
Physical address space (/size) = 2
x
(where xis the number of bits in physical
address)
Logical address space (/size) = # of pages ×page size
Physical address space (/size) = # of frames ×frame size
Page size= frame size= 2

Exercise 8.22
Exercise 8.19

following address references (provided as decimal
numbers)
d. 256a. 2375
e. 16385b. 19366
c. 30000
Address generated by CPU is divided into:
–Page number (p)–used as an index into a pagetablewhich
contains base address of each page in physical memory
–Page offset (d)–combined with base address to define the
physical memory address that is sent to the memory unit

Address Translation Scheme (paging)
Solution steps (Ex. 8.19)
1.Convert logical address: DecimalBinary
2.Split binary address to 2 parts (page # , Offset)
-offset: ndigits (where 2
n
=page size in bytes)
-page#:m-ndigits )where 2
m
=size in bytes of logical
address space)
3.Convert offset& page#: Binary Decimal
Exercise 8.10
Consider a paging system with the page table stored in
memory.
a. If a memory reference takes 200 nanoseconds, how
long does a paged memory reference take?
b. If we add TLBs, and 75 percent of all page-table
references are found in the TLBs, what is the
effective memory reference time?(Assume that
finding a page-table entry in the TLBs takes zero
time, if the entry is there.)
Effective access time law
Effective access time =
∑ [probability of the case ×access time of this case]
Where (∑ probability of all cases =100%)

access memory that it does not own; why?
How could the operating system allow
access to other memory?
Why should it or should it not?

Exercise 8.7
Explain why it is easier to share a reentrant
module using segmentation than it is to do so
when pure paging is used.

segment could belong to the address space
of two different processes.

respect to the amount of memory required
by the address translation structures in
order to convert virtual addresses to
physical addresses.

schemes ofcontiguous-memory allocation,
pure segmentation, and pure paging with
respect to the following issues:

b. internal fragmentation
c. ability to share code across processes
