Abstract

A theory of combined scheduling of processor and main memory has begun to emerge in the last few years. It has been proposed that schedulers use the working set concept to avoid thrashing. To our knowledge, no data has been published on experimental measurements of working sets or on the influence that program behavior may have on the choice of quantum size. In this paper empirical data are presented and its influence on the choice of system parameters is discussed.
