The Multics system, as originally designed, provided for two page sizes. It was believed that the large number of small data structures could occupy small pages, and that most other procedures and data structures would best occupy one or more large pages. How does a memory organization scheme that supports multiple page sizes differ from one that supports a single page size?
What will be an ideal response?
Certainly the scheme must identify various areas of memory for large pages and for
small pages. It must specify whether small pages will reside exclusively in “small-page
frames” or whether “large-page frames” may also hold many small-page frames. Dealing
with fragmentation becomes more complex. Dynamic address translation becomes more
complex in order to deal with translating pages of each size.
