Application-assisted physical memory management for general-purpose operating systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many software applications can, in principle, trade main memory consumption for other resources. For instance, garbage collected language runtimes can trade collection overhead for heap size, and many programs can improve their performance by caching data that was precomputed, read from disk or received from the network. Unfortunately, OSs provide little useful information about physical memory availability, and so applications use main memory cautiously to avoid unnecessary paging when

Reliable General Purpose Dynamic Memory Management for Real
Traditional dynamic memory management techniques for imperative programming languages are unsuitable for reliable real-time applications because their worst-case time and space requirements are insufficiently bounded. This is demonstrated by detailed measurements of several real-world workloads. A special hardware-assisted real-time garbage collection system has been designed to facilitate reli...
متن کاملIntelligent Data Processing in Global Monitoring for Environment and Security 347 15 Multi-dimensional Information Spaces as Memory Structures for Intelligent Data Processing in GMES
Memory management is a complex field of computer science. Over the years, many techniques have been developed to make it more efficient [Ravenbrook, 2010]. Memory management is usually divided into three areas: hardware, operating system, and application, although the distinctions are a little fuzzy. In most computer systems, all three are present to some extent, forming layers between the user...
متن کاملGdev: First-Class GPU Resource Management in the Operating System
Graphics processing units (GPUs) have become a very powerful platform embracing a concept of heterogeneous many-core computing. However, application domains of GPUs are currently limited to specific systems, largely due to a lack of “first-class” GPU resource management for general-purpose multi-tasking systems. We present Gdev, a new ecosystem of GPU resource management in the operating system...
متن کاملIntroduction of MO-GP algorithm and its application in basin management
The most important factor that should be considered in managing a watershed is, taking into account objectives under policies. In operating from water resources systems, in general, and in reservoir, in particular, operating rules should be extracted as multi-objective. In this paper, multi-objective genetic programming (MOGP) is developed and used. Then, after verification, it is used to extra...
متن کاملDevirtualizing virtual memory for heterogeneous systems
Accelerators are increasingly recognized as one of the major drivers of future computational growth. For accelerators, unified virtual memory (VM) promises to simplify programming and provide safe data sharing with CPUs. Unfortunately, the overheads of virtual memory, which are high for general-purpose processors, are even higher for accelerators. Providing accelerators with direct access to ph...
