Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a system with 4GB of virtual memory and 1GB of physical memory. If a program requires 2GB of memory at peak usage, describe how the operating system can efficiently manage this requirement.

💡 Hint: Think about how the OS prioritizes data needed immediately versus data that can be deferred.

Question 2

Suppose you are designing a system that frequently experiences page faults. What strategies would you implement to reduce the frequency of these faults?

💡 Hint: Consider solutions that optimize usage of existing memory resources.
