Q. A program is executing in a pure demand paging system with 100 records per page with 1 free main memory frame. The address sequence that is generated by tracing this program is recorded as follows,
0100, 0200, 0430, 0499, 0510, 0530, 0560, 0120, 0220, 0240, 0260, 0320, 0370

Q. If hardware does not support _________ then a multi - user and multi - processing operating system cannot be implemented.

View solution

Q. Consider a virtual memory system that uses First In First Out (FIFO) page replacement policy and it allocates a fixed number of frames to a process. Consider the following two statements,

1: Sometimes the page fault rate is increased if the number of page frames allocated is increased.
2: Some programs do not exhibit Locality of reference.

Which of the following is true?
