Chapter 10.2, Problem 3QE
Explanation of Solution
Frame buffer:
It is a portion of RAM used to store frame of data that is to be sent continually on the screen. The size of buffer is the size of the maximum image that can be displayed. It has separate space in the graphic card.
Some points regarding frame buffer:
- Whenever a pixel is to be displayed on the screen, a value is placed in the memory location of the frame buffer...

Students have asked these similar questions
Operating systems Page size is 4 bytes, page number is 3, frame number is 2, and offset is 8. What is the frame address?
If page defects occur 99 percent of the time, they occur often (that is, a page is not in the TLB). Searching the TLB takes 50 nanoseconds while reading from the hard disk takes 12 milliseconds.
