Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
