Difference between Paging and Segmentation



Characteristics
Paging
Segmentation
Definition
Paging breaks physical memory Into fixed-sized blocks called frames and logical memory into blocks of the same size called pages. When a process is to be  executed, its pages are loaded into any available memory frames from the backing store. The backing store is divided into fixed sized blocks that are of the same size as the memory frames.
Segmentation is the division of computer’s primary memory into segments or sections. In segmentation, a reference to a memory location includes a value that identifies a segment and an offset within that segment.
Length
All pages are divided into equal length.
The size of a memory segment is generally not fixed and may be as small as a single byte.
