Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a system with 500 memory frames shared among 5 processes, each process has a varying working set size (P1: 100, P2: 200, P3: 50, P4: 150, P5: 100). If the system experiences thrashing, explain how you would adjust the memory allocation to optimize performance. Provide specific strategies.
💡 Hint: Consider priorities and the changing needs of each process.
Propose a method to dynamically assess and adjust a process's working set to ensure optimal frame allocation without manual intervention. Discuss its implementation and implications.
💡 Hint: Think about how automation can enhance system performance.
