Abstract

This paper describes a method for predicting the paging behavior of a program in a virtual memory multiprogramming environment. The effect of overall system activity on the program is summarized in one parameter, the page survival index. The model correlates well with observations taken on programs running under CP-67. The model can be used for paging load prediction, simulator input verification, and evaluation of program rearrangement and sharing.
