Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does the LFU algorithm primarily consider for making replacements?

  • Frequency of access
  • Recency of access
  • Size of the page

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what 'LFU' stands for.

Question 2

True or False: The MFU algorithm is often more effective than LFU in all situations.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the usability of both algorithms.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine a system where the access pattern is completely randomized. Propose how LFU would perform in this situation. Provide an explanation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how a random pattern impacts frequency counts.

Question 2

Evaluate a workload scenario where pages have a predictable temporal locality. Compare how LFU vs. MFU would perform.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how predictable patterns align with each algorithm's strengths.
