Pаrt II – Questiоn 5: Memоry — Pаging аnd Translatiоn (30 points) Note: Canvas will not grade this question. Work on your separate answer sheet. Submit the answer sheet via Canvas Inbox (preferred) or email within 10 minutes after the exam ends. A system uses paging with the following parameters, which apply to all three sub-questions unless stated otherwise: Virtual address: 16 bits Physical address: 14 bits Page size: 256 bytes (a) (10 points) The system uses a single-level page table. A portion of the page table is given below (entries not listed are invalid): VPN (hex)PFN (hex)Valid 0x000x151 0x010x0A1 0x020x211 0x110x1F1 0x20—0 0xFE0x031 0xFF0x191 (i) (3 pts) Fill in the width (in bits) of each field: Offset, VPN, PFN. Show the derivation for each. (ii) (4 pts) Translate the virtual address 0x1140. Report: VPN, Offset, PFN from page table, and the final physical address (hex). (iii) (3 pts) Translate the virtual address 0x2030. Report: VPN (hex), Offset (hex), outcome (valid PA or page fault), and the reason. (b) (10 points) Now the same system is reorganized to use a two-level page table. The 8-bit VPN is split into a 4-bit Page Directory Index (PDI) and a 4-bit Page Table Index (PTI). The 8-bit offset is unchanged. The page directory and page tables (only non-null entries shown) are: Page Directory (entries not listed point to null): PDIPoints to 0Page Table A 1Page Table B 15Page Table C Page Table A (entries not listed are invalid): PTIPFN (hex)Valid 00x151 10x0A1 20x211 Page Table B (entries not listed are invalid): PTIPFN (hex)Valid 00x081 10x1F1 Page Table C (entries not listed are invalid): PTIPFN (hex)Valid 140x031 150x191 (i) (6 pts) Translate the virtual address 0x1140. Report: PDI (decimal), PTI (decimal), Offset, which page table the directory points to (A / B / C / null), PFN from that page table, and the final physical address (hex). Note: if your answer matches the physical address from part (a)(ii), that is expected — the two-level structure re-indexes the same virtual-to-physical mapping. (ii) (4 pts) Both 0x3050 and 0x0A80 cause page faults, but for different reasons. For each VA, report: PDI, PTI, the fault level (directory or page-table), and the structural reason. (c) (10 points) A system administrator reports two different problems on two machines that use different memory management schemes. Machine X: After several days of uptime, attempts to create new processes fail with “out of memory” errors, even though the OS reports that about 40% of physical memory is free. Rebooting the machine makes the problem disappear temporarily, but it gradually returns. Machine Y: Every small program that stores less than 1 KB of data consumes a full 4 KB of physical memory. Users complain that physical memory fills up much faster than the total useful data would suggest. (i) and (ii) (8 pts, 2 pts per cell — 4 cells of 2 pts each) For each machine, identify: Fragmentation type (internal / external) Memory scheme most consistent with the symptoms (base-and-bound / segmentation / paging; list all that apply if more than one fits) Root cause (iii) (2 pts) Propose one concrete change the administrator could apply to Machine X, and briefly explain why it helps.
