  2. Page replacement algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_replacement_algorithm

    The simplest page-replacement algorithm is a FIFO algorithm. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) page replacement algorithm is a low-overhead algorithm that requires little bookkeeping on the part of the operating system. The idea is obvious from the name – the operating system keeps track of all the pages in memory in a queue, with the most ...

  3. Bélády's anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bélády's_anomaly

    This phenomenon is commonly experienced when using the first-in first-out page replacement algorithm. In FIFO, the page fault may or may not increase as the page frames increase, but in optimal and stack-based algorithms like LRU, as the page frames increase, the page fault decreases. László Bélády demonstrated this in 1969. [1]

  4. FIFO (computing and electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and...

    Representation of a FIFO queue. In computing and in systems theory, first in, first out (the first in is the first out), acronymized as FIFO, is a method for organizing the manipulation of a data structure (often, specifically a data buffer) where the oldest (first) entry, or "head" of the queue, is processed first.

  5. LIRS caching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIRS_caching_algorithm

    For example, Graph (c) is produced after page E is accessed on Graph (a). When there is a miss and a resident page has to be replaced, the resident HIR page at the bottom of Stack Q is selected as the victim for replacement. For example, Graphs (d) and (e) are produced after pages D and C are accessed on Graph (a), respectively.

  6. Cache replacement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies

    In computing, cache replacement policies (also known as cache replacement algorithms or cache algorithms) are optimizing instructions or algorithms which a computer program or hardware-maintained structure can utilize to manage a cache of information. Caching improves performance by keeping recent or often-used data items in memory locations ...

  7. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    When pure demand paging is used, pages are loaded only when they are referenced. A program from a memory mapped file begins execution with none of its pages in RAM. As the program commits page faults, the operating system copies the needed pages from a file, e.g., memory-mapped file, paging file, or a swap partition containing the page data ...

  8. Pseudo-LRU - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-LRU

    Pseudo-LRU or PLRU is a family of cache algorithms which improve on the performance of the Least Recently Used (LRU) algorithm by replacing values using approximate measures of age rather than maintaining the exact age of every value in the cache.

  9. Memory management unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management_unit

    A 68451 MMU, which could be used with the Motorola 68010. A memory management unit (MMU), sometimes called paged memory management unit (PMMU), [1] is a computer hardware unit that examines all memory references on the memory bus, translating these requests, known as virtual memory addresses, into physical addresses in main memory.
