Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Suppose a hashing algorithm for hashed page tables produces 5 entries for virtual page numbers ranging from 0 to 10. Design a table showing how collisions are handled.
💡 Hint: Sketch out how you'd organize the pages numerically and visualize hash hits.
Critically analyze the performance of hashed page tables versus conventional single-level page tables in systems with 64-bit architecture. What metrics would you consider?
💡 Hint: Think of operational ease and efficiency as defined in both types.
