Abstract

This paper discusses an application of Denning's working set model to a design problem that arose in the development of an avionics computer. The working set model was used to aid the choice of optimum page size based on actual operating program trace data: from the E-2B aircraft. Extrapolating the E-2B workload until it “saturated” the new design on a working set idealization of the new architecture led to a preferred size for program pages on backing store.
