In the context of memory management, what are placement and
replacement algorithms?
Answer / guest
Placement algorithms determine where in available real-
memory to load a program. Common methods are first-fit,
next-fit, best-fit. Replacement algorithms are used when
memory is full, and one process (or part of a process)
needs to be swapped out to accommodate a new program. The
replacement algorithm determines which are the partitions
to be swapped out.

Measurements of a certain system have shown that the average process runs for a time T before blocking on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is effectively wasted (overhead). The CPU’s efficiency is the fraction of its time its spends executing user programs, i.e., executing user processes. For round robin scheduling with quantum Q, give a formula for the CPU efficiency for each of the following: (a) Q = ∞ (b) Q > S + T (c) S <Q<S + T (d) Q = S
