Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a series of memory access sequences, demonstrate how the Clock Algorithm would resolve page faults with 3 frames. Show each step of the selection process.
💡 Hint: Start from the pointer's last position and iterate around the structure.
Simulate a scenario with both the Sampled LRU and Approximate LRU algorithms. Use an access sequence and compare the number of page faults for each method.
💡 Hint: Remember to factor in the tracking nuances of each algorithm.
