A computer has a page size of 1024 words, 132 virtual pages and only 6 page frames. Initially, the memory is empty. A program references the following virtual addresses: 0, 6001, 4000, 2047, 1075, 6250, 1009, 14333, 4099, 3800, 1024, 7231, 5101, AND 19000. Considering that the memory management algorithm in place is the LRU. Which references cause a page fault? Justify your answer by showing the mapping of pages to frames step by step. hide problem
