摘要:
The present invention manages resources in a computing device to facilitate the allocation of resources amongst competing clients operating on the device. A hierarchy of budgets is constructed to encode restrictions on the aggregated use of a resource allocated by a resource provider to one or more clients. A resource manager validates and arbitrates requests to allocate resources to the one or more clients by resource providers in accordance with the budgets comprising the hierarchy. The resource manager notifies clients of availability and shortages of resources to promote compliance with the restrictions encoded in the budgets of the hierarchy.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to improving the usage of kernel mode memory in computing environments. The invention is useful in offsetting the effects of abandonment of kernel mode memory objects. Objects in kernel mode memory space are identified and a determination is made whether all references to particular kernel objects are known by examining an object container referring to each kernel object. If all references to a kernel object are known, a determination is made whether the kernel object should be classified as a moveable object. Kernel objects classified as movable are retrievably moved to a new memory location and all references to the kernel object are updated to the new memory location. Retrievably moving kernel objects allows abandoned kernel objects to be readily detected.
