Paging Problem

The paging problem is a challenge in computer systems related to memory management. When a computer runs programs, it divides memory into fixed-size blocks called pages. Since a running program might need more pages than physically available, the system needs to decide which pages to keep in fast memory (RAM) and which to swap out to slower storage. The goal is to minimize the number of times a page must be replaced or loaded, which can slow down performance. Efficient paging algorithms aim to make smart decisions to maximize system speed and responsiveness.
