Question 1

What is Belady's anomaly?

A: It refers to page faults decreasing with more frames
B: It is the concept that more frames can sometimes increase page faults
C: It describes memory fragmentation

💡 Hint: Think back to scenarios where additional resources led to efficiency losses.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A system is currently supporting 5 processes with varying memory demands, each needing 10, 20, fewer than 8, 30, and 12 frames respectively. Based on proportional allocation, how would you divide a total of 80 available frames among these processes?

💡 Hint: Break down each need to determine a fair ratio.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a series of page accesses [A, B, C, A, D, B, C, E], demonstrate how both FIFO and LRU algorithms results in different outcomes based on a frame limit of 3.

💡 Hint: Map each function to see which pages are retained under both methods.
