Design and implement a Demand Paging virtual memorysimulator!
It must be a text based application (NOT a GUI based one).
You can use the C/C++ or Java programming language.
The following algorithms must be implemented: FIFO, OPT, LRU andLFU.
The application must simulate the execution of each of thesealgorithms on a hypothetical computer having only N physical frames(numbered from 0 to N-1, N<8), assuming that the single processthat is running has a virtual memory of ten frames (numbered from 0to 9). The number N should be a number provided in the command lineas an argument.
The algorithms will be simulated based on a reference string (asequence of pages that are to be accessed) that will be either readfrom the keyboard or randomly generated.
THE SIMULATION MUST FOLLOW THE ANIMATED EXAMPLES FROM THE ONLINEMODULE 3 AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE IN ALL ASPECTS !!!
The program should be menu-based and the menu will keep the user ina loop containing the following options:
0 – Exit
Will exit the program
1 – Read reference string
A reference string will be read from the keyboard and stored in abuffer. Each value of the reference string will be verified andvalidated (or rejected).
Using option 1 again will result in overwriting the old referencestring.
2 – Generate reference string
A reference string will be randomly generated; the length of thereference string will be given by the user interactively. Thestring will be stored in a buffer.
Using option 2 more than once will result in overwriting the oldreference string.
3 – Display current reference string
Will display the stored reference string; if there is no referencestring stored yet, an error message will be displayed.
4 – Simulate FIFO
Will simulate the step by step execution of the FIFO algorithmusing the stored reference string; if there is no reference stringstored yet, an error message must be displayed.
The user will press a key after each step of the simulation tocontinue the simulation.
The total number of faults will be displayed at the end of thesimulation.
5 – Simulate OPT
Will simulate the step by step execution of the OPT algorithm usingthe stored reference string; if there is no reference string storedyet, an error message must be displayed.
The user will press a key after each step of the simulation tocontinue the simulation.
The total number of faults will be displayed at the end of thesimulation.
6 – Simulate LRU
Will simulate the step by step execution of the LRU algorithm usingthe stored reference string; if there is no reference string storedyet, an error message must be displayed.
The user will press a key after each step of the simulation tocontinue the simulation.
The total number of faults will be displayed at the end of thesimulation.
7 – Simulate LFU
Will simulate the step by step execution of the LFU algorithm usingthe stored reference string; if there is no reference string storedyet, an error message must be displayed.
The user will press a key after each step of the simulation tocontinue the simulation.
The total number of faults will be displayed at the end of thesimulation.
Selecting a different option will result in an error message butthe user will NOT exit the loop!
Deliverables:
1. The source code of the project
2. A report document (report.doc/report.pdf/…) containing anintroduction and an overview of the project, then a comprehensivedescription of the design and the implementation of yourproject.
3. A test document (test1.doc/ test1.pdf/ …) containing screensotsthat show the execution of the 4 algorithms using the inputs fromHW6. Three screenshots are required for each algorithm: one thatshows the beginning of the simulation, one in the middle of thesimulation and one showing the end of the simulation.
4. A test document (test2.doc/ test2.pdf/ …) containing screensotsthat show the execution of the 4 algorithms using the followinginputs: N=5, ref. string is: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 9 1 8 2 7 3 6 45 Three screenshots are required for each algorithm: one that showsthe beginning of the simulation, one in the middle of thesimulation and one showing the end of the simulation.
Post the source code of your simulator and the test documents underthe Final Project assignment.
