Approximating LRU

Explore how operating systems approximate Least Recently Used (LRU) page replacement by using hardware-supported use bits and the clock algorithm. Understand how this approach reduces computational overhead while improving memory management performance compared to naive methods.

We'll cover the following...

Use bits

As it turns out, the answer is yes: approximating LRU is more feasible from a computational-overhead standpoint, ...
