Q.13

An operating system uses a Least Recently Used (LRU) page replacement algorithm. Consider the following page reference ordering (pages are referenced from left to right): 1, 8, 1, 7, 8, 2, 7, 2, 1, 8, 3 Determine the number of page faults that are generated for this particular LRU case assuming that the process has been allocated four page frames, and that initially, none of the pages are in the main memory?

Q.14 Q.15

What do you mean by virtual memory organization? Discuss different memory replacement policies. A set associative cache consists of 64 slots divided into 4-slot sets. Main memory contains 4K Blocks of 128 bytes each. Show the format of the main memory address.
