Question 1

Which page replacement algorithm evicts the oldest page?

  • LRU
  • FIFO
  • Optimal

💡 Hint: Think of a queue in which the first element is always the first to go.

Question 2

True or False: LRU is the best possible page replacement algorithm.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall how Optimal differs from LRU.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a system with 4 frames and a reference string of '1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 1, 2, 3'. Calculate the number of page faults generated by FIFO and LRU.

💡 Hint: Trace each page allocation and monitor frame memory access.

Question 2

Critically analyze a scenario where using FIFO over LRU causes a drop in performance. Detail both page loads and page faults.

💡 Hint: Use a significant example with clear reference usage patterns.
