A demand paging simulator

Dennis W. Leinbaugh · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1977

A simulator is presented that allows a student to quickly write a demand paging memory management system. The simulator provides a job stream, support routines (such as read a page into memory), extensive error checking and debugging, and performance evaluation. This simulator is intended for a first course in operating systems to acquaint a student with the mechanics involved in demand paging or a second course where more time would be spent developing and evaluating page removal algorithms and job scheduling algorithms.
