• Key Concepts: 
  Page fault rate is a measure of how often a computer program needs to access data from the computer's main memory. It is calculated by dividing the number of page faults by the total number of memory accesses. A high page fault rate indicates that the program is not efficiently using the available memory. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Page fault rate can be used to measure the performance of a computer program. It can be used to identify areas where the program is not efficiently using memory and can be used to optimize the program for better performance. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  To reduce page fault rate, try to minimize the number of memory accesses and optimize the code for better memory usage. Also, try to use caching techniques to reduce the number of page faults. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Page fault rate is related to other measures of computer performance such as CPU utilization, disk I/O, and network I/O. It is also related to memory management techniques such as virtual memory and paging.
