Show hintHide hint
Think about how programs operate in bigger memory spaces.
Question 2.
What does a page fault indicate?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens if data is not immediately accessible.
3Question 3.
What component is responsible for mapping virtual addresses to physical addresses?
- CPU
- Memory Management Unit
- Cache
Show hintHide hint
Consider which hardware plays a significant role in managing memory.
4Question 4.
True or False: Virtual memory allows processes to exceed the physical memory size.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how memory management allows flexibility in resource usage.
Question 5.
Consider a system with 4GB of virtual memory and 1GB of physical memory. If a program requires 2GB of memory at peak usage, describe how the operating system can efficiently manage this requirement.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the OS prioritizes data needed immediately versus data that can be deferred.
Question 6.
Suppose you are designing a system that frequently experiences page faults. What strategies would you implement to reduce the frequency of these faults?
Show hintHide hint
Consider solutions that optimize usage of existing memory resources.
