study Exam Questions and Correct Answers
Guaranteed Success 2024/2025

advantages of virtual memory - correct answer
only part of program needs to be in memory for execution --> logical address space >
physical address space


allows address spaces to be shared by multiple processes --> less swapping


allows pages to be shared during fork (), speeding process creation


page fault - correct answer results from the first time there is a reference to a specific
page → traps the OS


Locality of Reference - correct answer behavior observed in many executing programs
in which memory locations recently referenced, and those near them, are likely to be
referenced in the near future


Demand Paging - correct answer brings a page into memory only when it is needed --
> less I/O and memory needed


could result in a lot of page-faults


Lazy Swapper - correct answer never swaps a page into memory unless page will be
needed


optimize Demand Paging - correct answer loading entire process image to swap space
at process load time


Pure Demand Paging - correct answer process starts with no pages in inventory

, Copy-on-Write (COW) - correct answer allows both parent and child processes to
initially share the same pages in memory


if either process modifies a shared page, only then is the page copied


modify (dirty) bit - correct answer can be used to reduce overhead of page transfers →
only modified pages written to disk


second chance algorithm - correct answer uses a reference bit
▪ If 1, decrement and leave in memory
▪ If 0, replace next page


fixed page allocation - correct answer proportional allocation -- allocate according to
size of process


global replacement - correct answer process selects a replacement frame from set of
all frames


- one process can take frame from another
- process execution time can vary greatly
- greater throughput


local replacement - correct answer each process selects from only its own set of
allocated frames


- more consistent performance
- possible under-utilization of memory
