Hardware Estimation of a Process Primary Memory Requirements

Abstract

This thesis examines the task of correctly assessing a process' primary memory requirements. First, an approximation of each process' primary memory requirements is needed to insure optimal operation of a time shared system. Second, an approximation is required to equitably charge for usage of primary memory, one of the most expensive components of a virtual memory system.
