Page Fault
2010 Fall 学operating system的时候
学过但是记不清了,是cache miss 还是 memory miss
刚才wiki 了一下,发现是 memory miss, the memory for a computer is limited, sometimes we do not need to load all the data a process need to the memory. We may save part of them to the disk, and load it when the process requires. The memory system is hierarchy. If the process requires the data, it will go to the address in memory to find it, if the data has been swapped to the disk, a page fault will be generated.
