if a 224 virtual address space is mapped to 16 KiB (214bytes) pages, the number of virtual pages is 210 = (224 / 214)
= 1024 pages.
Since each entry into this page table has an address of size (24/8)3 bytes, then we have 2^10*3 = 3kB. So the page table takes up 3kB in memory.
You have a processor that supports virtual memory. The page size used for the virtual memory...
Exercise l: Suppose that we have a virtual memory space of 28 bytes for a given process and physical memory of 4 page frames. There is no cache. Suppose that pages are 32 bytes in length. 1) How many bits the virtual address contain? How many bits the physical address contain? bs Suppose now that some pages from the process have been brought into main memory as shown in the following figure: Virtual memory Physical memory Page table Frame #...
A computer uses a byte-addressable virtual memory system with a four-entry TLB and a page table for a process P. Pages are 16 bytes in size. Main memory contains 8 frames and the page table contains 16 entries. a. How many bits are required for a virtual address? b. How many bits are required for a physical address?
The RISC-V 32-bit architecture supports virtual memory with 32-bit virtual addresses mapping to 32-bit physical addresses. The page size is 4Kbytes, and page table entries (PTEs) are 4 bytes each. Translation is performed using a 2-level page table structure. Bits 31:22 of a virtual address index the first-level page table. If the selected first-level PTE is valid, it points to a second-level page table. Bits 21:12 of the virtual address then index that second-level page table. If the selected second-level...

Consider a virtual memory system with the following properties: 36 bit virtual byte address, 8 KB pages size, and 32 bit physical byte address. Please explain how you determined your answer. a. What is the size of main memory for this system if all addressable frames are used? b. What is the total size of the page table for each process on this processor, assuming that the valid, protection, dirty, and use bits take a total of 4 bits and...
3. Virtual Memory (20 points) An ISA supports an 8 bit, byte-addressable virtual address space. The corresponding physical memory has only 256 bytes. Each page contains 32 bytes. A simple, one-level translation scheme is used and the page table resides in physical memory. The initial contents of the frames of physical memory are shown below. VALUE address size 8 bit byte addressable each byte of addressing type memory has its own address 32 B page size physical memory size 256...
Consider a simple paging system with the following parameters: 232 bytes of physical memory; page size of 210 bytes; 216 pages of logical address space. How many entries in the page table? How many bits in each page table entry? Assume each page table entry contains a valid/invalid bit.
A computer system has a 36-bit virtual address space with a page size of 8K, and 4 bytes per page table entry. How many pages are in the virtual address space? What is the maximum size of addressable physical memory in this system? If the average process size is 8GB, would you use a one-level, two-level, or three-level page table? Why? Compute the average size of a page table in part c above
Virtual memory address translation: a) Consider a machine with a physical memory of 8 GB, a page size of 4 KB, and a page table entry size of 4 bytes. How many levels of page tables would be required to map a 52-bit virtual address space if every page table fits into a single page? b) Without a cache or TLB, how many memory operations are required to read or write a page in physical memory? c) How much physical...
18. You have a byte-addressable virtual memory system with a two-entry TLB, a 2-way set associative cache, and a page table for a process P. Assume cache blocks of 8 bytes and page size of 16 bytes. In the system below, main memory is divided into blocks, where each block is represented by a letter. Two blocks equal one frame. Given the system state as depicted above, answer the following questions: a) How many bits are in a virtual address...
