Question 1

What is the main goal of page replacement algorithms?

  • Increase CPU speed
  • Minimize page faults
  • Reduce memory allocation size

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when a page is not in memory.

Question 2

True or False: The LRU algorithm guarantees the minimum number of page faults.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider if there is a page fault in a different context.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a page reference string of '5, 2, 3, 5, 1, 2, 1, 5' and a memory size of 3 pages, analyze how FIFO would replace pages and calculate the total number of page faults.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Keep track of the pages that are stored as they come in and note when they cause a fault.

Question 2

Evaluate the difference in performance between LRU and LFU with an access sequence of '3, 5, 2, 3, 5, 2, 1'. Calculate the faults for both algorithms.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Work out each step of access for both and keep historical counts.
