Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze the efficiency of FIFO compared to LRU in a scenario where multiple processes frequently access the same set of pages but in unpredictable patterns.

💡 Hint: Compare access patterns across the two algorithms.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a system with eleven processes, each requiring thirteen pages. Would FIFO still be applicable, and how would it handle potential thrashing?

💡 Hint: Evaluate the memory versus demand in practical tasks.
