The percentage of times a page number is found in the TLB is known as :
In a system with 32 bit virtual addresses and 1 KB page size, use of one-level page tables for virtual to physical address translation is not practical because of
A CPU generates 32-bit virtual addresses. The page size is 4 KB. The processor has a translation look-aside buffer (TLB) which can hold a total of 128 page table entries and is 4-way set associative. The minimum size of the TLB tag is:
In designing a computer’s cache system, the cache block (or cache line) size is an important parameter. Which one of the following statements is correct in this context?
Locality of reference implies that the page reference being made by a process
Consider a virtual memory system with FIFO page replacement policy. For an arbitrary page access pattern, increasing the number of page frames in main memory will
A computer has twenty physical page frames which contain pages numbered 101 through 120. Now a program accesses the pages numbered 1, 2, …, 100 in that order, and repeats the access sequence THRICE. Which one of the following page replacement policies experiences the same number of page faults as the optimal page replacement policy for this program?
Consider a paging hardware with a TLB. Assume that the entire page table and all the pages are in the physical memory. It takes 10 milliseconds to search the TLB and 80 milliseconds to access the physical memory. If the TLB hit ratio is 0.6, the effective memory access time (in milliseconds) is _________.
Which of the following page replacement algorithms suffers from Belady’s anomaly?
An un-interruptible unit is known as :
Mutual exclusion implies that :
Which of the following conditions must be satisfied to solve the critical section problem?
The segment of code in which the process may change common variables, update tables, write into files is known as :
A situation where several processes access and manipulate the same data concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which access takes place is called :
Concurrent access to shared data may result in :
