Abstract

The concept of Super-Paging has been wandering around for more than a decade. Super-Pages are supported by some operating systems. In addition, there are some interesting research papers that show interesting ideas how to intelligently integrate Super-Pages into modern operating systems; however, the page replacement algorithms used by the contemporary operating system even now use the old Clock algorithm which does not prioritize small or large pages based on their size. In this chapter an algorithm for page replacement in a Super-Page environment is presented. The new technique for page replacement decisions is based on the page size and other parameters; hence is appropriate for a Super-Paging environment.
