  2. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    The user will be prompted to choose whether or not to delete the file (even if it does not exist). Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me use a similar file, and the settings for it are located under Control Panel → System → Performance tab → Virtual Memory. Windows automatically sets the size of the page file to start at 1.5× the size of ...

    The Free Edition (limited to Windows 32-bit Win2000 / XP / 2003) is able to use 'invisible' RAM in the 3.25 to 4 GB 'gap' (if your motherboard has i946 or above chipset) & is also capable of 'saving to hard disk on power down' (so, in theory, allows you to use the RAM disk for Windows XP swap file and survive over a 'Hibernate').

  4. zram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram

    When used as a compressed swap space, zram is similar to zswap, which is not a general-purpose RAM disk, but rather an in-kernel compressed cache for swap pages. Until the introduction of CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK in kernel version 4.14, unlike zswap, zram was unable to use a storage device as a backing store, so it was unable to move less ...

  5. Virtual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory

    Virtual memory combines active RAM and inactive memory on DASD [a] to form a large range of contiguous addresses.. In computing, virtual memory, or virtual storage, [b] is a memory management technique that provides an "idealized abstraction of the storage resources that are actually available on a given machine" [3] which "creates the illusion to users of a very large (main) memory".

  6. Memory overcommitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_overcommitment

    The disadvantage of this approach is that memory swap files are slower to read from than 'actual' memory, which can lead to performance drops. [2] Another disadvantage is that, when running out of real memory, the system is relying on the applications to not use the additional memory despite it being allocated to them.

    Settings may be in a different location in each email client, though the AOL server and port settings will always be the same. For additional questions specific to the email client, check the manufacturer’s website. Manufacturers cannot answer questions about your AOL Mail settings, or your AOL username or password.

  8. Sticky bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit

    If a 0410 a.out executable file has the sticky bit (mode bit 01000) set, the operating system will not delete the program text from the swap area when the last user process terminates. If a 0413 a.out or ELF executable file has the sticky bit set, the operating system will not delete the program text from memory when the last user process ...

  9. Thrashing (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

    The first version of swap-token is implemented in Linux. The second version is called preempt swap-token. In this updated swap-token implementation, a priority counter is set for each process to track the number of swap-out pages. The token is always given to the process with a high priority, which has a high number of swap-out pages.
