2nd project Bringing in the next page of a process if all pages are already in RAM (all 5)

4:16pm Sat 5th Oct, ANONYMOUS

Hello, I've seen a few posts already saying that if the input file tells us to bring the next page of process 0 to RAM, but all pages of process 0 are already in RAM, then we should update the last_accessed time of the 0th page of process 0 to the new time step. But I believe the unit coordinator said in a tutorial that if all pages of process 0 are already in RAM, then we should do nothing. So I'm just wondering which one is correct? Thanks

Hey, I'm also not sure what to do in this case. Say the input string was 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. Do we load process 0 into RAM twice, and effectively load its 4 pages twice? Or should allow a process to be completely loaded into RAM only once?

If Amitava said to only do it once then follow what he said.

But we will have to change the time step of the page which is already there and also been requested next. otherwise we will not be able to know the least recently one

Yes, if you're assuming you can load the same process twice.
