n Each process is allocated a fixed number of pages
u determined at load time and depends on
application type
n When a page fault occurs: page frames
considered for replacement are local to the page-
fault process
u the number of frames allocated is thus constant
u previous replacement algorithms can be used
n Problem: difficult to determine ahead of time a
good number for the allocated frames
u if too low: page fault rate will be high
u if too large: multiprogramming level will be too low
