Which is the best page replacement algorithm and Why ?

Answer Posted / pravin tripathi

optimal page replacement algorithm seems to be the best page
replacement algorithm as"the no. of page faults are minimum
as compared to any page replacement algorithm as well as it
is free from belady's anomaly",but the problem is that,it is
very difficult to implement as it need the future knowledge
of reference string.
while least-recently-used(LRU)algorithm is also free
from belady's anamoly and the no. of page faults are fewer
than any other page repl. algorithm(besides OPT algorithm)
it is easy to implement.and is the best page replacement
algorithm.
