Paging

• Paging is a memory-management scheme which allows the physical address of a process to be non-contiguous.
• Paging concept is used to remove the problem of fragmentation. Here we are able to allocate physical memory to the process in a non-contiguous manner wherever memory is available.
• Paging avoids external fragmentation and the need for compaction.
