Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for swapping a memory page from memory to a swap device. An example system for swapping a memory page from memory to a swap device includes a memory to store one or more memory pages. The system also includes a swap device selector that receives an indication to swap out a memory page from memory to a swap device. The swap device selector identifies a memory group to which the memory page belongs and selects a swap device from a plurality of swap devices assigned to the identified memory group. The memory group identifies a plurality of applications having a common property. The system further includes a swap module that copies the memory page into the selected swap device.
