Operating systems miscellaneous

  1. Consider a system with byte–addressable memory, 32-bit logical addresses, 4 kilobyte page size and page table entries of 4 bytes each. The size of the page table in the system in megabytes is ______.
    1. 84 mB
    2. 2 mB
    3. 10 mB
    4. 4 mB
Correct Option: D

Given that Logical Address (LA) = 32 bits
Logical Address Size (LAS) = 232 = 448
Page size = 4 kB

∴ Number of pages =
LAS
=
44 B
=
G
= 220 = 1 m
P.S4 KBK

Size of the page table entry = 4 bytes
∴ Page table size = 4B × 1m = 4 mB
