Compile

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Test

• in build directory

ctest

Run

Demo

• in build directory
• illustrate each page replacement process

cd example
./demo

Different Settings

• in build directory

cd example
./different_frames
./different_modify_percent
./different_pages
./different_periods
./sequence_access
./small_page_frequent_access
./time_algorithms

Algorithms

• Aging
• Clock
• FIFO (first-in-first-out)
• LRU (Least Recently Used)
• NRU (Not Recently Used)

Output Data

• Frame: number of frames in physical memory.

• Page: number of pageEntry in page table.

• Strategy: page replacement algorithm being used.

• Modify Pct: percentage of modify command in input file.

• Period: PeriodOperation will be triggered every how many lines.

  • Because some algorithms do something periodically.
  • e.g. NRU reset all frames' reference bit to 0 periodically.

• Line: number of accumulated lines in the input file.

• Page fault: number of page fault so far in the input file.

• Time: time elapses so far from Run the simulator, the unit is second.

• e.g.

  • Frame: 1024
  • Page: 1024
  • Strategy: NRU
  • Modify Pct: 0%
  • Period: 100
  • Line: 20000
  • Page fault: 1024
  • Time: 0.007801

Note

• For simplicity, disregard displacement when referencing a page.
