Page table management in local/remote architectures
Mark A. Holliday · 1988
We conjecture that a paged memory with page migration by the operating system may be an effective system environment for a local/remote shared memory architecture executing a single parallel computation. Implementing a paged memory in such an architecture raises several issues with respect to page table management. These issues include page table placement, page table replication level, and page table storage overhead. We discuss these issues, propose alternative solutions, and present an experimental evaluation of the solutions.
