DON'T USE CHATGPT

Write a C program to simulate a memory management system that demonstrates

page faults and handles them using the clock algorithm for page replacement. Along

with the use$/$reference bit, the dirty bit associated with each page should also be

considered.

Design

$$ Simulate a memory of N pages using a fixed$-$size page table.

$$ Input :

$$ num$\_$frames: Number of available page slots $($frames$).$

$$ page$\_$requests: A string representing page requests $($Eg$.0,1,1,2,4,2)$

$$ Output:

$$ Total page faults

$$ Total page hits

$$ Hit rate

$$ Each page can be represented using a simple structure called struct page

defined as follows

struct page $\{$

uint$8\_$t page$\_$number;

bool reference$\_$bit;

bool dirty$\_$bit;

$\}$;

$$ Memory frames can be represented using a simple array that holds the page

number and any necessary bits.

Algorithm :

$$ Initialize all memory frames to be empty $(-1$ or some other value$).$

$$ Service each of the page requests from the list passed as input to the program.

Eg : $[011242]$

$$ For each page request, check if the page is in memory $($check in the

frames array$).$

$$ If yes, it's a hit.

$$ If no then use the clock algorithm to replace a page and update the

reference bit of the corresponding page $($struct page instance$)$ if

necessary.

$$ After servicing all the requests, print out the total faults, total page hits and

hit rate.
