Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A local replacement policy only selects from the resident pages of the process that generated the page fault. This is in contrast to a global replacement policy which selects from all resident pages of all processes. A page replacement policy is a broader term that refers to any algorithm used to select which page to replace when a page fault occurs, and a page placement policy is not a commonly used term in the context of memory management.
