Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a system with a TLB that caches 64 entries. If a process accesses 150 unique pages within a short time frame, explain how the TLB might influence memory access performance.
💡 Hint: Consider how capacity impacts translation effectiveness in caching.
Imagine a scenario where a process requires quick access to four different pages across multiple iterations but often experiences page faulting. Propose a solution to optimize the TLB's performance in this situation.
💡 Hint: Think about how to balance between TLB size and working set requirements.
