Question 1

What does Belady's anomaly signify?

  • More frames lead to fewer faults
  • More frames lead to more faults
  • It has no effect

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of frame counts.

Question 2

True or false: The LRU algorithm can exhibit Belady's anomaly.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how LRU selects which pages to keep.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simulation that demonstrates Belady's anomaly using FIFO. Use a program to keep track of the number of faults as frames increase.

💡 Hint: Focus on tracking the sequence of accesses and noting when frames are replaced.

Question 2

Create a detailed analysis comparing the fault rates of LRU and Optimal across different frame counts using specific page reference strings.

💡 Hint: You may use a table format to compare the results clearly.
