- W2089336473 abstract "Today, many modern processors support more than one page size. The larger pages, called superpages, have been identified as one means of reducing the time spent servicing translation lookaside buffer (TLB) misses in the early 1990s by increasing TLB reach. Widespread usage of superpages has been limited by the requirement that superpages consist of physically contiguous and naturally-aligned small pages. This makes external fragmentation a serious problem for an operating system, one that is almost non-existent when processes use only one page size. Hardware solutions to mitigate this limitation such as sub-blocking, shadow page-tables and a variety of hybrid solutions have not seen wide-spread adoption. This has curtailed automatic superpage support as it is known that superpage availability will decrease during the system's lifetime as external fragmentation grows.This paper presents a placement policy for an operating system's physical page allocator to mitigate external fragmentation problems by grouping pages based on the system's ability to relocate the data. Secondly, the necessary changes to the page reclamation algorithm for it to be contiguity-aware are described while minimising impact to the reclamation algorithms' normal decisions. The performance impact on different machine types is illustrated and it is shown that the superpage allocation success rate is improved. These mechanisms are complementary to any of the hardware solutions proposed in the past." @default.
