Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for resource management of a data processing system is described herein. According to one embodiment, a token is periodically pushed into a memory usage queue, where the token includes a timestamp indicating time entering the memory usage queue. The memory usage queue stores a plurality of memory page identifiers (IDs) identifying a plurality of memory pages currently allocated to a plurality of programs running within the data processing system. In response to a request to reduce memory usage, a token is popped from the memory usage queue. A timestamp of the popped token is then compared with current time to determine whether a memory usage reduction action should be performed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for resource management of a data processing system, the method comprising: periodically pushing a token into a memory usage queue, the token including a timestamp indicating time entering the memory usage queue, wherein the memory usage queue stores a plurality of memory page identifiers (IDs) identifying a plurality of memory pages currently allocated to a plurality of programs running within the data processing system, wherei…
