Question
What is Belady’s anomaly?
Select an option. Your answer will be checked instantly.
Correct Answer: B. Under some algorithms such as FIFO, adding frames can increase the number of page faults
Explanation:
Belady's anomaly shows that fault count is not always monotonic with frame count for non-stack algorithms.
FIFO is the classic example that may fault more after receiving additional frames.
