Contiguity Representation in Page Table for Memory Management Units

Page Replacement in Linux 2.4 Memory Management

While the virtual memory management in Linux 2.2 has decent performance for many workloads, it suffers from a number of problems. The first part of this paper contains a description of how the Linux 2.2 VMM works and an analysis of why it has bad behaviour in some situations. The way in which a lot of this behaviour has been fixed in the Linux 2.4 kernel is described in the second part of the p...

Shared Page Table : Sharing of Virtual Memory Resources ∗

Traditionally, UNIX has been weak in data sharing. By data sharing, we mean that multiple cooperative processes concurrently access and update the same set of data. As the degree of sharing (the number of cooperative processes) increases, the existing UNIX virtual memory systems run into page table thrashing, which causes a major performance bottleneck. Once page table thrashing occurs, UNIX pe...

Memory reservation and shared page management for real-time systems

Memory reservations are used to provide real-time tasks with guaranteed memory access to a specified amount of physical memory. However, previous work on memory reservation primarily focused on private pages, and did not pay attention to shared pages, which are widely used in current operating systems. With previous schemes, a real-time task may experience unexpected timing delays from other ta...
