Example 1 : Basic Paging Calculation

Given a computer system that uses paging with a page size of 4 KB and a logical address space of 32 bits, calculate the
number of pages in the logical address space.

Example 2 : Frame Number Calculation

In a paging system with a page size of 2 KB and a physical address space of 16 MB, calculate the number of bits required
to represent a frame number.

Example 3 : Logical Address Calculation

If you have a logical address composed of a page number (10 bits) and an offset (12 bits) in a system using paging with
a page size of 4 KB, calculate the maximum logical address that can be generated.

Example 4 : Page Table Size

In a computer system that uses paging with a 4 KB page size, and assuming each entry in the page table requires 4
bytes, calculate the size of the page table for a process with a 32-bit address space.

Example 5 : Frame Size

If a computer system uses paging and has a total physical memory size of 64 MB, and there are 16384 frames in physical
memory, calculate the size of each frame.

Example 6 : Logical to Physical Address Translation

Given a logical address with a 10-bit page number and a 12-bit offset, and assuming a page table entry size of 4 bytes,
calculate the physical address for a specific logical address in a paging system.

Example 7 : Number of Pages Used

If a process has a logical address space of 64 MB and the system uses 4 KB pages, calculate the number of pages that
are needed to map the entire process.

Example 8 : Memory Size Calculation

In a computer system using paging with a page size of 8 KB and 16-bit page numbers, calculate the maximum amount
of physical memory (RAM) that can be addressed.

FAT File

(a) The size of one block on a disk is 4KB. The figure below represents the status of a section starting with section
300 in the File Allocation Table (FAT) of that disk. Information regarding the categories of the maximum.py file
can be derived from it.

NB: The end of a file is indicated by -1.


(i) Specify the significant numerical value in the directory entry of the file that aids the operating system in
locating the categories associated with the maximum.py file.
………………………
(ii) Assume the maximum.py file grows to 20KB in size. What modifications should be made in the FAT
regarding this?
