Inverted Page Table


  • One entry for each real page of memory.
  • Entry consists of the virtual address of the page stored in that real memory location, with information about the process that owns that page.
  • Decreases memory needed to store each page table, but increases time needed to search the table when a page reference occurs.
  • Use hash table to limit the search to one — or at most a few — page-table entries.
