On the same system, how many pages are there in the virtual address space of a process?

The purpose of the TLB is to speed address translation.

What will be the first TLB hit with the same TLB size and replacement policy as before?

A system uses linear page tables and has the following parameters: Address Space size: 32KB Physical Memory size: 64KB Page size: 4KB   A process that is currently running on the system has the following page table base register and page table as shown below.  Note, only 5 bits of every PTE are shown.  The full size of a PTE is 1 byte. PTBR: 0x2004 The process’s instructions and virtual addresses are: 0x0000 movl 0x1100, %edi  (load x)0x0008 addl $0x1, %edi    (add 1)0x000C movl %edi, 0x1100  (store x)

The purpose of the ASID in a TLB entry is to reduce the size of a process’ page table.

At which of the following bony junctions does the nasolacrimal duct begin?

Sparsely used address spaces are poor candidates for multi-level page tables.

Write the following phrases with possessive adjectives*. Follow the model. los cuadernos / yo        mis cuadernos *If you need accented letters or other special characters, you can use the button at the top of the browser that looks like a piece of paper with and “A” on it. A box will pop down with the characters you need (and a lot you don’t). Remember, accents in Spanish go this direction: á é í ó ú los lápices / Guillermo  [a] (his pencils) los padres / los estudiantes  [b] (their parents) los hijos / señor Ballesteros  [c] (his children) la computadora portátil / tú  [d] (your laptop) las familias / nosotros  [e] (our families)  

In C an array is stored in row-major format. For example, an integer array of shape 4×4 with data like the one is shown in Figure 2 in memory as shown in Figure 3. Assume there is a tiny address space where each page is of 8 bytes and there are 16 such pages. We have a 4×4 array and the element a[0] is located at virtual address 20. (Virtual Page Number=02, offset = 04). Assume size of integer is 4 bytes   Consider the following function:   void print_array(int *arr, int cols, int rows){   for (size_t i=0; i

A page table entry holds the virtual page number for a given physical page.
