Question 1

What happens when a process does not have enough frames allocated to it?

  • It operates efficiently.
  • It experiences thrashing.
  • It uses all available memory.

💡 Hint: Think about the impact of not enough resources.

Question 2

True or False: Fixed allocation is independent of process size.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the characteristics of fixed frame distribution.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a system with 150 frames and 4 processes requiring (in order) 40, 50, 30, and 20 frames each, how would you allocate the frames using proportional allocation?

💡 Hint: Sum the requirements first to guide your allocations.

Question 2

Create a scenario that demonstrates thrashing and explain how to mitigate it based on the concepts learned.

💡 Hint: Think about balancing between active process needs and available memory.
