Are you asking if there are any pages in RAM when the simulation starts? The RAM is empty there are no pages in RAM.

Ok that makes sense, RAM and DISC are the values of the page table of the currently loaded processes so RAM: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 DISK: 99,99,99,99,99,99,99,99 instruction 3 RAM: 0->99 (evicting process 1 (value 0) and replacing with process 3 (value 99)),1,2,3,4,5,6,7 DISK: 99->0,99,99,99,99,99,99,99 here initially processes 1 and 2 are in RAM (each with 4 pages for each page table) and a page from process 3 in disc swaps with the first page in ram after getting the '3' instruction. Is this correct?

Isn't this your page table? process 1: 0,1,2,3 process 2: 4,5,6,7 process 3: 99,99,99,99 process 4: 99,99,99,99 It's hard to follow what you are doing to RAM and disk because it doesn't provide information as to which page of which process is in RAM. RAM: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is just the frame numbers or the possible positions in RAM the page of a process could be loaded into.

yes that's the page table, with corrected indexes it looks like this: process 0: 0,1,2,3 process 1; 4,5,6,7 process 2: 99,99,99,99 process 3: 99,99,99,99 process 0 and 1 are loaded into ram with values 0-7 but now there is a new issue with instruction '0' 'the next page of process 0 has to be brought in from virtual memory to the RAM' however every page from process 0 is already loaded into RAM do I just switch the pages like so: process 0: 0,1,2,3 process 0: 1,0,2,3 (and update the time step for these 2 that change) or does something else need to happen?
