Enhancing Performance of Replacement Policy in Operating System Page Cache for I/O Intensive Workloads, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Asadi, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to the increasing use of data storage systems and volume of digital data, fast information access and retrieval has significant effect on performance of storage-bound systems. Operating systems utilize the spare space in the main memory as a cache to speed up access to the storage subsystem. Due to the large performance gap between hard disk and main memory, any improvement in this caching layer can greatly affect the performance of the entire system. Page replacement algorithms are one of the important mechanisms in the virtual memory management layer. Several algorithms have been proposed for the eviction of pages from the virtual memory cache and few of them have also been implemented...
