LRU Approximations
• Aging
– Keep a counter for each PTE
– Periodically (clock interrupt) – check R-bit
• If R = 0 increment counter (page has not been used)
• If R = 1 clear the counter (page has been used)
• Clear R = 0
– Counter contains # of intervals since last access
– Replace page with largest counter value
• Alternative
