Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the reference string '2 0 1 6 4 2 0 1 6 4 0 1 0 3 1 2 1', explain step-by-step how each page replacement algorithm (FIFO, Optimal, LRU) would handle each access.

💡 Hint: Go through each reference one by one.

Challenge 2 Hard

Critically analyze the implications of using the Reference Bit technique in a system with frequent memory access. What are the potential downsides?

💡 Hint: Consider how memory is accessed frequently.
