1 A file is initially read using demand paging.

2 Demand paging, in essence, avoids the condition where this disk space is allocated for no purpose.

3 The way demand paging works is that the kernel only loads a few pages at a time into real memory.

4 One advantage of demand paging is that the paging space does not have to be particularly large, because data is constantly being shuffled between paging space and RAM.

5 Paging is actually a very normal part of what AIX does, due to the tight integration of its kernel with the VMM and its implementation of demand paging.

6 AIX 7, through tight integration of the kernel and VMM, makes use of a methodology called demand paging.
