In the management of memory resources,modern OS introduces virtual memory technology.There are three main ways in the realization of virtual memory: request paging system,request segmentation system and request segmentation with paging system.Request paging system is a realization of virtual memory which increases request paging function and page replacement function on the basis of pure paging system.This paper analyzes the existing problems of page replacement algorithm,and proposes a new indicator to weigh the pros and cons of page replacement algorithm-page replacement rate.
