COUNTING-LFU PAGE REPLACEMENT ALGORITHM


  • LFU-LEAST FREQUENTLY USED
  • The page with smallest count can be replaced
  • actively used page have a large reference count.
  • problem:a page which is used heavily in initial stage of a process, is never used again and remains in memory.
  •  implementation of this algorithm is expensive
  •  they do not approximate  OPT replacement well
  • solution:shift the counts right by 1 at regular intervals,to decay average usage count.
