Question 1

If a computer system uses 4KB pages and has a virtual address space of 32 bits, how many pages can be created, and what size will the page table be if each PTE is 4 bytes?

💡 Hint: Use the total address space divided by the page size to find the number of pages.

Question 2

Discuss the effects of increasing the page size on internal fragmentation and page table overhead. What is the trade-off?

💡 Hint: Consider how larger pages impact memory space efficiency.
