[PATCH/RFT 1/5] CLOCK-Pro page replacement

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Track non-resident pages through a simple hashing scheme.  This way
the space overhead is limited to 1 u32 per page, or 0.1% space overhead
and lookups are one cache miss.

Aside from seeing whether or not a page was recently evicted, we can
also take a reasonable guess at how many other pages were evicted since
this page was evicted.
