page fault

[George2]

Hello everyone,


I can understand hard page fault is we need to load from page file
into working set (RAM). But what is a soft page fault? I am confused.


thanks in advance,
George

Confused enough to ask on the wrong group...

You question has nothing to do with C++. See with your Os' group or on
comp.programming.

A hard page fault is that the memory is not loaded (not available), a
soft page fault is that the page is not up to date (not synchronized
between processes).
