Abstract

A method and a computer system for memory management on a virtual machine system are provided. The memory management method includes the following steps. A least recently used (LRU) list is maintained by at least one processor according to a last access time, wherein the LRU list includes a plurality of memory pages. A first portion of the memory pages are stored in a virtual memory, a second portion of the memory pages are stored in a zram driver, and a third portion of the memory pages are stored in at least one swap disk. A space in the zram driver is set by the at least one processor. The space in the zram driver is adjusted by the processor according to a plurality of access probabilities of the memory pages in the zram driver, an overhead of a pseudo page fault, and an overhead of a true page fault.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to technologies for memory management of virtual machines. Background technique [0002] Computer virtualization is a technology that involves creating a virtual machine of a physical computer with an operating system, and computer virtualization architectures are generally defined by the ability to simultaneously support multiple operating systems on a single physical computer platform. For example, a computer running Microsoft Windows can host a virtual machine with a Linux operating system. The host is the actual physical machine on which virtualization occurs, while the virtual machine is considered a guest machine. A hypervisor (literally a virtual machine monitor (VMM)) is a software layer that virtualizes hardware resources and presents a virtual hardware interface to at least one virtual machine. A hypervisor is similar to the way a traditional operating system manages hardware resources for processing and perfo...
