Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the sequence of page requests: 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 2, 1, analyze how FIFO, LRU, and Optimal Replacement would handle this with 3 frames.

💡 Hint: Track which pages would remain in memory after each request.

Challenge 2 Hard

Critique a system implementing LRU using stack versus timestamping. Which system yields greater efficiency and why?

💡 Hint: Discuss the use-case scenarios for both systems.
