Question 1

What happens during a page fault?

  • The program continues without issue
  • A page must be loaded from disk
  • The program crashes

💡 Hint: What does the system need to do to resolve the fault?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the reference string 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 0, 3 with 3 frames, determine the page fault rate using FIFO.

💡 Hint: Draw it out: First fill frames with the first three accesses, then keep replacing the oldest.

Question 2

Propose an algorithm that combines FIFO and LRU principles for better efficiency.

💡 Hint: Consider how you might manage initial placements versus frequent accesses.
