Memory page

A memory page is a fixed-size block of memory, determined by the operating system and hardware architecture, typically at system startup. It serves as the fundamental unit of memory management in both physical memory and virtual memory. The operating system, in conjunction with the Memory Management Unit (MMU), manages this mapping through the use of page tables to memory frames.
