# PAGE TABLE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A page table (or PT) is an 1024 array of 32bit value(Page Table Entry (or PTE)). The address of the PT is store in the [PD](./page_directory.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Page Table Entry (PTE)
|
||
|
|
The value is a 20 first bits of the [frame](./frame.md) address and the 12 last bit is for the flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Not used PTE value
|
||
|
|
To say to the [MMU](./mmu.md) the page is currently not attribued to a frame you should put the (PTE index << 12)
|
||
|

|
## Indexed Size

|
|
Cause our kernel use 4096byte page and a PT can store 1024 value, each PT index 1024 * 4096Byte = 4MB of address.
