What are demand- and pre-paging?..

Answer / guest

With demand paging, a page is brought into memory only when
a location on that page is actually referenced during
execution. With pre-paging, pages other than the one
demanded by a page fault are brought in.

The selection of such pages is done based on common access
patterns, especially for secondary memory devices.
