Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a system using a page table with a page size of 8 KB and a process requiring 25 KB of memory. Calculate how many pages are needed and discuss the implications of internal fragmentation in this scenario.

💡 Hint: Think about how page sizes factor into overall memory usage.

Question 2

Analyze how the choice of a replacement algorithm (e.g., LRU vs. FIFO) might affect a program with varying access patterns. What factors should be considered?

💡 Hint: Consider how memory usage is tracked over time.
