Question 1

What algorithm uses reference bits to track page access?

  • FIFO
  • Approximate LRU
  • Optimal

💡 Hint: Remember the algorithm specifically aimed at reducing hardware cost.

Question 2

True or False: The Clock Algorithm allows for pages to have a second chance if their reference bit is set to 1.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how it manages page referencing.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
