Jan 29, 2025 · The Second Chance page replacement algorithm is an enhancement over the basic FIFO (First-In, First-Out) algorithm. It aims to improve upon FIFO's weakness of …

Clock algorithm key idea: rotate through pages until we find one that hasn’t been referenced since the last time we checked it. (“second chance algorithm”)

In a computer operating system that uses paging for virtual memory management, page replacement algorithms decide which memory pages to page out, sometimes called swap out, …

Clock algorithm: keep "use" bit for each page frame, hardware sets the appropriate bit on every memory reference. The operating system clears the bits from time to time in order to figure out …

In the two-handed clock algorithm those "short-term usage" pages get replaced after just one cycle through the fifo. Another replacement algorithm you might look at is WSClock of Carr …

Figure- The clock page replacement algorithm. If its R bit is 0, the page is evicted, the new page is inserted into the clock in its place, and the hand is advanced one position. If R is 1, it is …

Instead a variant of LRU that considers both recency and frequency of access to a page, is typically used in an OS (e.g., 2Q, CLOCK with Adaptive Replacement, etc.). A related idea …

How do we choose a frame to swap out? Now or later? – Less frames in memory (smaller degree of multiprogramming?) 1. Determine faulting virtual address. 2. If the page is invalid, grow …

The WSClock algorithm combines aspects of the working set algorithm (with virtual time) and the clock implementation of second chance. It also distinguishes clean from dirty and referenced …

The second chance algorithm (which some people call the clock algorithm) works just like FIFO, but it skips over any pages with the use bit set (and clears the use bit). Example: Let's …
