Generic virtual memory management for operating system kernels

Abstract: Operating system offers a service known as memory management which manages and guides primary memory. It moves processes between disk and main memory during the execution back and forth. The process in which we provisionally moves process from primary memory to the hard disk so the memory is available for other processes. This process is known as swapping. Page replacement techniques are the methods by which the operating system concludes which memory pages to be swapped out and write to disk, whenever a page of main memory is required to be allocated. There are different policies regarding how to select a page to be swapped out when a page fault occurs to create space for new page. These Policies are called page replacement algorithms. In this paper the strategy for identifying the refresh rate for ‘Aging’ page replacement algorithm is presented and evaluated. Keywords: Aging algorithm, page replacement algorithm, refresh rate, virtual memory management.

Usage Efficiency

To deal with the problem of external storages management in multiple virtual machines environment, a system design scheme of external storages management is proposed with the idea of virtual memory management and protocol of object-based Network storage. Experiments showed that virtual partition could be created and repealed dynamic, the capability of partition could be increased dynamic with practical requirement, and write protection based partition could also be realized, flexibility of external storages management is enhanced greatly and usage efficiency also increased notably.
