Paging is a memory management technique that allows processes to be stored in non-contiguous memory spaces. It divides physical memory into fixed-size blocks called page frames and the process’s logical address space into pages. When a process requests memory, page frames are allocated and mapped to the process’s logical pages. The page table maintains the mapping between logical pages and physical page frames. This system helps in efficient memory management by eliminating the need for contiguous memory allocation.
