COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE NINTH EDITION The basic mechanism for reading a word from memory involves the translation of a virtual, or logical, address, consisting of page number and offset, into a physical addres…

A processor including a virtualization system of the processor with a memory virtualization support system to map a reference to guest-physical memory made by guest software executable on a virtual machine which in turn is executable on a host machin…

The prioritization of large memory page mapping is a function of the access bits in the L1 page table. In a first phase of operation, the number of set access bits in each of the L1 page tables is counted periodically and a current count value is cal…

A page, memory page, or virtual page is a fixed-length contiguous block of virtual memory, described by a single entry in the page table. It is the smallest unit of data for memory management in a virtual memory operating system. Similarly, a page fr…

Virtual Memory technical specification This document details the internals of the Redis Virtual Memory subsystem. The intended audience is not the final user but programmers willing to understand or modify the Virtual Memory implementation. Keys vs V…

一.先谈几个重要的东西 virtual memory是一个抽象概念,书上的原文是"an abstraction of main memory known as virtual memory"(参考资料p776).那么什么是抽象概念.下面说说我个人对这个东西的理解. 所谓抽象概念是指抽象出来的概念,通过抽象这个动作得到的结果.那么抽象这个动作又是什么,即是怎么一个动作,思维做了什么动作或者做了一系列什么动作.举个生活中的例子,现在有排球.足球.篮球.乒乓球,我们按照某个方向(共性)对排球…

我们应该知道物理内存(Physical Memory)指的是硬件上的内存,即 RAM.它通常指的是插在主板上的内存条,给进程提供临时数据存储的设备.因为 CPU 可以直接从物理内存中读取数据和指令,所以物理内存又叫做主存. 虚拟内存(virtual memory,VM)又叫做虚拟存储(virtual storage),是一种内存管理技术.它是操作系统提供的一种对主存的抽象.虚拟内存的实现由操作系统软件和硬件结合完成,包括硬件异常.地址翻译.磁盘文件.内核程序等. 本文将深入虚拟内存的实现机制,讨…
