Page Tables | The Backend Engineering Show

Page Tables dives deep into how operating systems map virtual memory to physical memory. Hussein kicks off with a look at virtual memory fundamentals and the MMU, then breaks down single-level versus multi-level (radix tree) paging, huge pages, and the critical role of the TLB—all neatly timestamped for easy reference.

Beyond the core OS theory, he peppers the episode with links to Intel’s CPU specs, Node.js internals, and a suite of hands-on courses on backend engineering, networking, databases, NGINX, Python, and more—perfect for anyone wanting to level up their system-level knowledge.
