Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
