Thread scheduling for out-of-core applications with memory server on multicomputers
Yuanyuan Zhou, Limin Wang, Douglas W. Clark, Kai Li · 1999
Out-of-core applications perform poorly in paged virtual memory (VM) systems because demand paging involves slow disk I/O accesses.Much research has been done on reducing the I/O overhead in such applications by either reducing the number of I/OS or lowering the cost of each I/O operation.
