Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Compare access patterns across the two algorithms.

Question 2

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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Evaluate the memory versus demand in practical tasks.
