In this video, we explore Belady's Anomaly, a counterintuitive phenomenon observed in some page replacement algorithms, particularly the FIFO algorithm. Belady’s Anomaly shows how increasing the number of page frames can sometimes lead to more page faults, challenging the assumption that more memory always improves performance.
Key Topics Covered:
What is Belady's Anomaly?
How Belady’s Anomaly occurs in page replacement algorithms
Detailed example demonstrating the anomaly
Why FIFO is susceptible to Belady's Anomaly
Comparison with other algorithms that avoid this issue (LRU, Optimal)

#PageReplacementAlgorithms
In an operating system that uses paging for memory management, a page replacement algorithm is needed to decide which page needs to be replaced when new page comes in.
Page Fault – A page fault happens when a running program accesses a memory page that is mapped into the virtual address space, but not loaded in physical memory.
Since actual physical memory is much smaller than virtual memory, page faults happen. In case of page fault, Operating System might have to replace one of the existing pages with the newly needed page. Different page replacement algorithms suggest different ways to decide which page to replace. The target for all algorithms is to reduce the number of page faults.
#FirstInFirstOut (FIFO) –
This is the simplest page replacement algorithm. In this algorithm, the operating system keeps track of all pages in the memory in a queue, the oldest page is in the front of the queue. When a page needs to be replaced page in the front of the queue is selected for removal.
#BeladysAnomaly – Belady’s anomaly proves that it is possible to have more page faults when increasing the number of page frames while using the First in First Out (FIFO) page replacement algorithm.
