摘要： A method for expanding memory size is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A desired size of an expanded memory and a first information about a workload in the data processing system are received. A size of a compressed memory pool to use with the memory to make the desired size of the expanded memory available is computed. A representation of the memory is configured, the representation of the memory appearing to be of a size larger than the size of the memory, the representation of the memory being the expanded memory, and the size of the representation being the size of the expanded memory. The expanded memory is made available such that the memory in the data processing system is usable by addressing the expanded memory.

摘要： A fork system call by a first process is detected. A second process is created as a replication of the first process with a second affinity. If a replication of the replicated shared library is present in the second affinity domain, effective addresses of the replication of the replicated shared library are mapped using a mapping mechanism of the present invention to physical addresses in the second affinity domain.

摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are presented for memory page initialization operations. After an application thread attempts to reference a memory page, an exception or fault may be generated, and a physical memory page is allocated. The application thread is put to sleep, and a page initialization request is given to a kernel off-level worker thread, after which the interrupt-level processing is concluded. During the normal course of execution for the worker thread, the worker thread recognizes the page initialization request, and the worker thread initializes the newly allocated page by zeroing the page or by copying the contents of a source page to the newly allocated page, as appropriate. The worker thread then puts the application thread into a runnable state.

摘要： A system and method for dynamically altering a Virtual Memory Manager (VMM) Sequential-Access Read Ahead settings based upon current system memory conditions is provided. Normal VMM operations are performed using the Sequential-Access Read Ahead values set by the user. When low memory is detected, the system either turns off Sequential-Access Read Ahead operations or decreases the maximum page ahead (maxpgahead) value based upon whether the amount of free space is simply low or has reached a critically low level. The altered VMM Sequential-Access Read Ahead state remains in effect until enough free space is available so that normal VMM Sequential-Access Read Ahead operations can be performed (at which point the altered Sequential-Access Read Ahead values are reset to their original levels).

摘要翻译： 提供了一种基于当前系统内存条件动态更改虚拟内存管理器（VMM）顺序访问预读设置的系统和方法。 使用用户设置的顺序访问读取前值可以执行正常的VMM操作。 当检测到低内存时，系统会根据自由空间量是否很低或已经达到极低的水平，关闭顺序访问预读操作或者减小最大页面前提（maxpgahead）值。 改变的VMM顺序访问预读状态在有足够的可用空间可用之前保持有效，以便可以执行正常的VMM顺序访问预读操作（此时，改变的顺序访问读取前置值被重置为其原始级别） 。

摘要： A method, computer program product, and system for detecting and fencing off a failed entity instance so that failover time in the computing system is reduced. Upon detection of a failed entity, for example a failed process, a signal handler invokes an operating system interface to fence off the failed instance from modifying its persistent state, so that the entity may be re-instantiated prior to termination of the failed instance. This approach reduces failover time and eliminates split-brain problems without compromising access to the failed instance to obtain diagnostic information, core dumps, and the like.

摘要： A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing real memory. In response to a request for a page to be moved into real memory, a contiguous range of real memory is reserved for the page corresponding to a contiguous virtual memory range to form a reservation within a plurality of reservations for the real memory. This reservation enables efficient promotion of pages to a larger page size. The page only occupies a portion of the contiguous range of real memory for the reservation. In response to a need for real memory, a selected reservation is released within the plurality of reservations based on an age of the selected reservation within the plurality of reservations.
