Consider a three-level page table to translate a 39-bit virtual address to a physical address as shown below:

The page size is 4 KB = (1KB = 2¹⁰ bytes) and page table entry size at every level is 8 bytes. A process P is currently using 2 GB (1 GB = 2³⁰ bytes) virtual memory which OS mapped to 2 GB of physical memory. The minimum amount of memory required for the page table of P across all levels is _________ KB

A computer system supports 32-bit virtual addresses and 32-bit physical addresses. Since the virtual address space is the same size as the physical address space, the operating system designers decide to eliminate the virtual memory system entirely. Which of the following is true in this scenario?
