An interesting algorithm has been proposed (but not, to the best of my knowledge widely implemented) that combines some of the best features of WS and CLOCK. Assume that we …

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”)

The basic working set algorithm is cumbersome since the entire page table has to be scanned at each page fault until a suitable candidate is located. An improved algorithm, that is based on …

Dec 4, 2015 · I have a question regarding the WSClock algorithm used for page replacement in operating systems. As far as I understand, the WSClock combines the features of both …

• When need victim: Scan through registers to find oldest clock • Trade-off: Fast on memory reference, slow on replacement (especially as size of memory grows)

When simulating the clock page replacement algorithm, when a reference comes in which is already in memory, does the clock hand still increment? Here is an example: With 4 slots, …

A new virtual memory management algorithm WSCLOCK has been synthesized from the local working set (WS) algorithm, the global CLOCK algorithm, and a new load control mechanism …

Clock algorithm LRU has one of the best hit/miss percentages of any common algorithm, but it implementing it, especially in hardware, is a pain. The Clock algorithm gives a simple and …

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 …
