Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a real-time application involving multiple user requests over a short time. How would the use of the Optimal algorithm affect overall system performance and user experience?

💡 Hint: Consider how memory management strategies differ when under time-sensitive conditions.

Challenge 2 Hard

Devise a scenario where memory-intensive applications alter access patterns, causing traditional algorithms like FIFO to underperform when evaluated against the Optimal paradigm.

💡 Hint: Map out changing access patterns and how they impact memory management choices.
