ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Page boundary relocation

Okay, kiddo, imagine you are a teacher and you have a big notebook with lots of pages. Each page can hold some information like drawings or words, but sometimes the information you want to write or draw is too big for just one page. So, you need to start writing or drawing at the top of the first page, and then continue on the next page until you finish.

Now, let's say that you filled up all the pages in your notebook, but you still need to add more information! What can you do? Well, you could either get a new notebook, or you could rearrange the pages in your current notebook so that you can fit more information.

This is kind of like what happens with computer memory. When a program needs to use a big chunk of memory that is larger than just one page, it might start on one page and then continue onto the next one. But if there isn't enough space left in the memory, the program might need to move some pages around to make room for the new information.

This is called page boundary relocation. The computer moves the pages so that the big chunk of information can still fit in the memory. It's kind of like rearranging the pages in your notebook so that you have enough space to keep writing.

So, that's page boundary relocation in a nutshell! It's just a fancy way of saying that the computer might need to shuffle around its memory pages so that it can fit larger pieces of information.
