Question 1

What is the primary purpose of a page replacement algorithm?

  • To keep more pages in memory
  • To optimize page faults
  • To track hardware performance

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when data is not located in RAM.

Question 2

True or False: The Sampled LRU algorithm reduces tracking overhead by only sampling pages periodically.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how frequently tracking can slow down performance.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a series of page references: 2, 0, 1, 6, 4, 2, 0, 1, 6, 4, 0, 1, 0, 3, 1, 2, 1 with 4 page frames, calculate the page fault rate for Sampled LRU.

💡 Hint: Count the number of page faults you experience and divide it by the total references.

Question 2

Compare the performance impact of using FIFO versus Sampled LRU in a heavily accessed system.

💡 Hint: Evaluate which algorithm allows more flexibility based on access patterns.
