Question 1

What is thrashing?

  • A situation where CPU utilization is high.
  • A condition where a process frequently swaps pages.
  • A model for allocating frames.
  • An event that occurs during I/O operations.

💡 Hint: Think of the impact on performance.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simulation that models how thrashing occurs and its effects on CPU utilization under varying degrees of multiprogramming.

💡 Hint: Think about how each process's memory needs change based on the total number of processes.

Question 2

Propose a strategy to dynamically adjust memory allocation to processes based on real-time page fault statistics.

💡 Hint: How would you prioritize which processes need more frames?
