This assignment makes use of files contained in this zip file. This assignment is due Thursday, May 5.
For this assignment you are to write a program that performs virtual memory operations. You will run the program along with a virtual memory mapping program so that you can observe the virtual memory operations and answer some questions.
Complete the program that is outlined in the file VMdriver.c
from the above zip file. Create a text file, called VMcmds.txt
, with commands to exercise your virtual memory operations. The form of the command file is described in the comments of VMdriver.c
. A simple version of VMcmds.txt
is contained in hw4.zip
. Your command file should demonstrate all of the commands described in the comments of VMdriver.c
. Be sure to create a command file that really tests your program. Run your program in a console window using a command of the form
c:\VMdriver < VMcmds.txt
Your VMdriver.exe
program should create a process from the program VMmapper.exe
(its source code file, VMmapper.c
, is included in the above zip file). The VMmapper.exe
process will display a memory map of the VMdriver.exe
process as it is running so that you can see the virtual memory operations take place in the VMdriver.exe
virtual address space.
In the zip file there is a demo version, VMdriver-demo.exe
, that you can run to see how your version should work.
When you are done with your version of VMdriver.c
, write a text file, answers.txt
, containing answers to the following questions. To answer these questions, you will need to use your version of VMdriver.exe
, the VMmapper.exe
program, and you may need to use other programs that let you observe virtual memory.
Turn in a zip file called CS302Hw3Surname.zip
(where Surname
is your last name) containing your version of VMdriver.c
, your command file VMcmds.txt
, and your text file answers.txt
containing answers to the above questions.
