The document is an assignment submission that discusses paging and segmentation on ARM architecture. It notes that ARM supports two paging modes - short and long descriptor format. Paging allows efficient memory allocation but results in longer access times and fragmentation. Segmentation is not supported on all architectures like ARM, which would make porting Linux more difficult if dependent on segments.
Design and implementation of the memory management unit (MMU) of a 32-bit micro-controller; split cache of 32/32kByte; 4-way set-associative, LFU, Write-Through / Write-Allocate. With an ARM926EJ-S with 1GHz clock speed of unlimited main memory with a clock of 10MHz.

You are required to choose any one architecture of your choice and then mention if you implement paging and segmentation on such architecture what will be the outcomes? Arm Architecture: Paging: ARM CPUs are used in smaller applications than x86 CPUs. ARMv7-A supports two different paging modes. These are the short descriptor format and long descriptor format. The long descriptor format is an ARM equivalent of the X86 PAE system. However, even the short descriptor format allows access to a 1TB physical address space, but only with a 16MB granularity
Advantages:
Allocating memory is easy and cheap
Eliminates external fragmentation Pages are mapped appropriately anyway More efficient swapping Just swap out page least likely to be used Disadvantages:
Longer memory access times
Inverted page tables Memory requirements Page Table Length Register to limit virtual memory size Internal fragmentation Segmentation: Some architectures (like ARM) do not support memory segments at all. If Linux had been source-dependent on segments, it could not have been ported to those architectures very easily.
