Question 1

What does global frame allocation allow?

  • Each process to maintain its own frames.
  • Flexibility in resource sharing among processes.
  • Only high-priority processes to access more frames.

💡 Hint: Think about how resources are managed.

Question 2

True or False: In local frame allocation, frames may be shared across processes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider if sharing is possible.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Develop a memory management system for a computer with limited frames. Explain how you would manage global and local allocations and their trade-offs.

💡 Hint: Consider both efficiency and process needs.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where an operating system increases the degree of multiprogramming. How might this lead to thrashing, and what steps should be taken to monitor frame allocation?

💡 Hint: Think about feedback loops and resource management.
