Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given 200 frames and 4 processes with sizes 25, 50, 75, and 100 pages, compute the allocation for each process using both fixed and proportional allocation. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method in this scenario.

💡 Hint: Consider how each method allocates frames and its impact on resource utilization.

Question 2

A system is thrashing. What strategies can you use to mitigate this issue? Create a plan outlining at least three actions you would recommend.

💡 Hint: Think about effective management and resource monitoring.
