Explain about paged segmentation and segment paging?..

Answer / p govind rao

PAGING: Paging memory allocation algorithms divide computer
memory into small partitions, and allocates memory using a
page as the smallest building block.

SEGMENTAION: Segmentation means that a part or parts of the
memory will be sealed off from the currently running
process, through the use of hardware registers. If the data
that is about to be read or written to is outside the
permitted address space of that process, a segmentation
fault will result.
