Abstract: A system on a chip (SoC) or other integrated system can include a first processor and at least one additional processor sharing a page table. The shared page table can include permission bits including a first permission indicator supporting the processor and a second permission indicator supporting at least one of the at least one additional processor. In one implementation, that page table can include at least one additional bit to accommodate encodings that support the at least one additional processor. When one of the processors accesses memory, a method is performed in which a shared page table is accessed and a value of the permission indicator(s) is read from the page table to determine permissions for performing certain actions including executing a page; read/write of the page; or kernel mode with respect to the page.

Abstract: Techniques described enable efficient swapping of memory pages to and from a working set of pages for a process through the use of large writes and reads of pages to and from sequentially ordered locations in secondary storage. When writing pages from a working set of a process into secondary storage, the pages may be written into reserved, contiguous locations in a dedicated swap file according to a virtual address order or other order. Such writing into sequentially ordered locations enables reading in of clusters of pages in large, sequential blocks of memory, providing for more efficient read operations to return pages to physical memory.

Abstract translation: 所描述的技术使得能够通过使用大量写入和从第二存储器中的顺序排序的位置读取页面来有效地交换存储器页面到工作页面的工作集合。 当将进程的工作集中的页面写入辅助存储时，可以根据虚拟地址顺序或其他顺序将页面写入专用交换文件中的保留的连续位置。 这种写入顺序排列的位置使得能够读取大的，顺序的存储器块中的页面簇，从而提供更有效的读取操作以将页面返回到物理存储器。

Abstract: A memory is made up of multiple pages, and different pages can have different priority levels. A set of memory pages having at least similar priority levels are identified and compressed into an additional set of memory pages having at least similar priority levels. The additional set of memory pages are classified as being the same type of page as the set of memory pages that was compressed (e.g., as memory pages that can be repurposed). Thus, a particular set of memory pages can be compressed into a different set of memory pages of the same type and corresponding to at least similar priority levels. However, due to the compression, the quantity of memory pages into which the set of memory pages is compressed is reduced, thus increasing the amount of data that can be stored in the memory.

Abstract translation: 内存由多页组成，不同的页面可以有不同的优先级。 具有至少类似优先级的一组存储器页被识别并压缩成具有至少相似优先级的一组附加存储器页。 附加的存储器页面集合被分类为与被压缩的存储器页面集合（例如，作为可以重新利用的存储器页面）相同类型的页面。 因此，特定的一组存储器页可以被压缩成相同类型的不同的存储器页集合，并且对应于至少相似的优先级。 然而，由于压缩，存储器页面集合被压缩到的存储器页面的数量减少，从而增加可以存储在存储器中的数据量。

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to storage systems and aliased memory. In aspects, a file system driver or other component may send a request to a memory controller to create an alias between two blocks of memory. One of the blocks of memory may be used for main memory while the other of the blocks of memory may be used for a storage system. In response, the memory controller may create an alias between the blocks of memory. Until the alias is severed, when the memory controller receives a request for data from the block in main memory, the memory controller may respond with data from the memory block used for the storage system. The memory controller may also implement other actions as described herein.

Abstract: Techniques for memory image capture via memory write from a running system are described. In at least some embodiments, a request is received for an image of a portion of memory. Images of memory can be used for a variety of purposes, such as diagnosing and repairing error conditions for hardware and/or software, detecting unwanted and/or malicious processes (e.g., malware), general systems maintenance, and so forth. According to one or more embodiments, various techniques can be implemented to capture an image of a portion of memory. For example, an intermediate write to memory can be employed to write the image of the portion of memory to a memory buffer. Alternatively or additionally, an image of a portion of memory can be captured directly to storage.
