In computational architecture, page size refers to the amount of data or memory that can be stored in a single page or memory block. It is a crucial factor in the performance and efficiency of a computer system. Page size is typically measured in bytes, and the most commonly used page sizes are 4 KB, 8 KB, and 16 KB. The choice of page size depends on the specific needs of the system, such as the size of the data being processed and the available memory resources. A larger page size can improve the performance of memory-intensive applications, while a smaller page size may be more suitable for applications with smaller memory requirements.
