Project 3: Virtual Memory Management
Assigned: 19th March 2021
Due: 15 April 2021, 11:59:59PM
Please read this document carefully!
[Note: There are no checkpoints and the whole assignment is due at once. However, we will be
checking your incremental commits as a way of detecting possible violations of AI
requirements.]
Goals
The goals for this project are to help you:
1. Get experience working with a trace-based event-driven simulator
2. Get experience with a basic virtual memory management system (including MMU, TLB, DRAM,
DRAM-resident multi-level page tables, page replacement algorithms, and swap device)
3. Get experience with simulation-based performance evaluation
Project Overview
You will implement and experiment with a simple virtual memory manager (VMM) consisting of the
following elements: (i) MMU, (ii) TLB, (iii) DRAM, (iv) DRAM-based multi-level page tables, and (iv)
disk-based swap device. To do this, you will be given a simulator base code. If you have never worked
with a simulator, do not worry. Much of the simulator functionality will be already implemented in the
base code allowing you to focus on ideas related to VMM. Additionally, be sure to check out a short
video that has been uploaded in canvas announcements - wherein we describe all you need to know to
quickly become familiar with the base code.
Our base code simulates multiple processes time-sharing a single CPU with the help of the operating
system which implements a round-robin CPU scheduler. The code base has been written to work for
processes that only execute non-memory instructions. For each simulated process, the simulator reads the
instructions from an “input trace file” for that process. You will extend this to simulate the time-sharing of
processes that also execute memory instructions (such as loads and stores) that access virtual addresses
that need to be translated into their physical counterparts by the MMU.
As input, you will receive two types of files: input files and traces. These files are present in the ‘traces’
folder.
Where to find the simulator base code
The simulator base code is in the simulator.c file. You can compile it using the make command. Then, to
run the simulator, you need to write the following command:
$ ./simulator input1.txt output1.txt
Where input1.txt is the input file and output1.txt will contain the output from running the simulator.
Simulator Inputs
Our simulator takes two types of inputs for each simulation (henceforth also called “experiment”): (i)
system parameters and (ii) a scheduling trace for each process involved in the experiment. These inputs
are specified within a file that is passed as a command line argument to the simulator. So for an input file
called input1.txt, the simulator would be invoked as follows, where the output will be written to
output1.txt. More details on compiling and running the simulator appear under “Using the Simulator”
$ ./simulator input1.txt output1.txt
The format of an input file is as follows:
# list of system parameters specified as parameter-descriptive-string parameter-value; (all latencies
are in units of a “cycle”)
# list of parameters that will remain the same across all experiments
Non-mem-inst-length 1
Virtual-addr-size-in-bits 32
DRAM-size-in-MB 4
TLB-size-in-entries 16
TLB-latency 1
DRAM-latency 100
Swap-latency 10000000
Page-fault-trap-handling-time 10000
Swap-interrupt-handling-time 10000
TLB-type FullyAssociative
TLB-replacement-policy LRU
# list of parameters that may vary across experiments
P-in-bits 12
Num-pagetable-levels 3
N1-in-bits 8
N2-in-bits 8
N3-in-bits 4
Page-replacement-policy LRU
Num-procs 3
# trace-file-name arrival-time-of-process
process1 0
process2 3
process3 4
The processes are in order, meaning that each process has a start time later than or equal to the previous
start time.
Code for parsing this file will be provided with the functions openTrace(), closeTrace(), readNextTrace()
and readSysParam() in fileIO.h/c files.
The traces are: “input1.txt”, “input2.txt”, …., “input10.txt”.
Process trace files contain a list of addresses accessed by a program. The process trace file names will
correspond to trace-file-name.txt from input trace files. So in the above example the “input1.txt” points
to the 3 process file - “process1.txt”, “process2.txt” and “process3.txt”. ‘Mem’ or ‘NonMem’ is used to
define the type of instructions.
Here is an example of the first few lines within a process trace file:
Total-num-instr 1000000
Mem 0x12f00C00
Mem 0x77f46B77
NonMem
Mem 0x7ffde001
Mem 0x12f0015C
NonMem
Mem 0x77f3c000
Mem 0x12f00C28
NonMem
NonMem
NonMem
NonMem
Mem 0x12f00010
Mem 0x12f0CC11
Mem 0x12f00100C
Mem 0x77f3CDE1
...
Code for parsing this file will be provided with the functions openTrace(), closeTrace(), readNumIns()
and readNextMem() in fileIO.h/c files.
The process traces are available for each process in the traces: “process1.txt”, “process2..txt”, ….,
“process44.txt”.
Using the Base Simulator
We have simulated the Round Robin process scheduler in the schedulingRR() function. This is the only
scheduler you need to work with.
The base code simulates NonMem instructions ONLY and generates the following upon the completion
of an experiment:
1. per-process completion time
2. total number of context switches
3. total amount of time spent in OS vs. total amount of time spent in user mode.
The current implementation works with “input1.txt” and “input10.txt” only which has all NONMEM
instructions.
“input1.txt” has 3 processes: process1, process2 and process3. Each of these processes have 2, 2 and 3
NonMem instructions respectively.
Use the following commands to execute the simulator:
Make
./simulator input1.txt output1.txt
[here input1.txt is the trace parameter you wish to experiment with, output1.txt is the file name where the
output will be written]
Make clean will delete all object files.
The execution order of the processes in “input1” are: process1 → process2 → process3 → process2 →
process3; where quanta = 5, nonMemReadTime = 2 and contextSwitchTime = 1.
The below diagram shows the execution order of the 3 processes in “input1”:
What you need to do
You are required to append to this simulator to take care of all types of instructions and generate the
following: [You can use traces 2-9 as reference to test your code]
1. per-process completion time
2. total number of context switches
3. total number of disk interrupts
4. per-process and total number of TLB misses (absolute and ratios)
5. per-process and total number of page faults (absolute and ratios)
6. per-process and total fraction of time in blocked state
7. total amount of time spent in OS vs. total amount of time spent in user mode.
To that end, you would have to implement data structures for TLB and page table and include necessary
functions and helper data structures.
You must assume that the swap device has sufficient capacity to accommodate the active address spaces
in their entirety in any experiment. You will assume that the capacity needs of the page tables themselves
are accommodated by main memory other than the DRAM that the simulator considers (but that it has
similar latency characteristics). You will ignore the main memory needs of the page tables themselves in
your simulation of DRAM usage. You will assume that all the memory instructions in the trace files
reference valid virtual addresses and, therefore, do not raise traps. All page table entries must be aligned
to 4 Bytes. Besides the PPN, you only need to consider the valid bit within a PTE. All of these other PTE
entries in a real page table are to be ignored: permissions, user/kernel, dirty, reference.
Provided Code Structure
● dataStructures.h file contains the structs used in this project. You can add other structures here.
● fieIO.h/c file contains the helper functions for reading the traces.
● gll.h/c contains a linked list implementation for ease. It has been used in the existing code and
you are welcome to use it for your linked list implementation.
● simulator.h/c contains the code for the simulator. You are expected to include your
implementation in this file. There are //TODO instructions that give you some guidance about
adding your implementation specific values in existing functions. You are expected to determine
how to include your implementation yourself.
○ init() initializes all the data structures and list of processes. processList is the list of all
processes. Any process that becomes ready to run is moved to readyProcess list. The
process that should run right now is moved to runningProcess list. You should initialize
your necessary variables/data structures here.
○ simulate() function is the simulator which loops through all the processes until all of
them are done. It calls the processSimulator() function in a loop. processSimulator()
simulates the running process until one of these things happen- timer interrupt, disk
interrupt, page fault, process finishes. processSimulator() calls readIns() function that
reads the next instruction for the running process. You have to handle “MEM”
instructions in readIns() function.
○ diskToMemory() function moves one page from disk to memory. You have to implement
it.
To implement these functions, you will need to implement TLB and page table along with MMU
and swapping logic. You would also need to implement multiple page replacement
algorithms(described in next section).
● Recommended order of implementation:
○ MMU, DRAM, swap device, Page table only with no TLB
○ Add TLB
○ Performance evaluation.
Page Table Implementation (40%)
In this part of the assignment you need to implement a multi level page table with the following page
replacement policies:
● Optimal: The page that will not be used for the longest period of time in the future is to be
removed
● LRU: The least recently accessed page is the one to be removed.
● (BONUS) Clock: You should maintain a clock hand that rotates around memory. Each physical
page is marked "unused". Each time a page is needed, the hand advances until it finds a page
marked "unused", at which time that page is chosen for eviction. If it finds a page marked "used''
in this process, the page is changed to be "unused". In addition, on every memory reference, the
page accessed should be marked "used".
TLB Integration (20%)
In this part of the assignment you need to implement a simulation of the Translation Look-aside Buffer
(TLB) that uses the LRU replacement algorithm.
Performance Study (40%)
After completing and testing your implementation so far, you will conduct two types of experiments. You
will describe your findings in a project report (doc or pdf). We first describe these two types of
experiments followed by the contents of your project report .

● Keeping all other parameters the same as in Experiment type 1, vary P-in-bits from 12, 14, 16,
18, 20 and plot the following: (i) average process completion time, (ii) per-process and total
number of TLB misses (absolute and ratios), (iii) per-process and total number of page faults
(absolute and ratios), and (iv) DRAM internal fragmentation.

○ P-in-bits 20 - (N1-in-bits 4; N2-in-bits 4; N3-in-bits 4)
● Keeping all other other parameters the same as in Experiment type 1, vary the number of levels in
the page table from 1 to 3 and plot the following: (i) average process completion time and (ii)
page table size per process. Choose the number of bits for the different levels within multi-level
page tables to be as close to equal as possible.
○ 3-level page table (Num-pagetable-levels 3; N1-in-bits 8; N2-in-bits 6; N3-in-bits 6)
○ 2-level page table (Num-pagetable-levels 2; N1-in-bits 10; N2-in-bits 10; N3-in-bits 0)
○ 1-level page table (Num-pagetable-levels 1; N1-in-bits 20; N2-in-bits 0; N3-in-bits 0)
● Keeping all other other parameters the same as in Experiment type 1, compare all outputs 1-7 for
the page replacement policies Clock vs. LRU. (Bonus)
Report: Your report will consist of the graphs and tables described above with a few (at most 5)
sentences interpreting your findings for each graph (What trend did you expect based on your
understanding from lectures/textbook? Does the trend match your expectation?). Please specify your and
your partners’ names and psu id in your project report.
Handin Instruction
You will upload the commit ID that you want us to grade via canvas similar to project 2. The project
report should be pushed to your repository (pdf/ doc format).
Programming Rules
● IMPORTANT: You can enhance the PCB data structure.
● IMPORTANT: You need to create the MMU, TLB, DRAM, page tables, swap data structures
from scratch.
● IMPORTANT: You must show your partial work on this assignment by periodically committing
and submitting (i.e., pushing) your code to git. This will be used for ensuring academic integrity.
Hints
● In addition to the usual scanning of provided code to understand how it works, we also encourage
you to run it with provided traces (ones without any Mem instructions) as well as traces you
construct yourself and use the observed behavior to help understand how it simulates a
multi-tasked system.
● We encourage you to use the calculations you have seen in lectures and Exam 1 to create
first-order models. You can use the estimates offered by these models to check whether your
simulator’s output appears to be in the right range or if it is way off which may be indicative of
bugs in your code.
