APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION DIRECT VIRTUAL MEMORY MANAGEMENT

摘要

An apparatus, system, and method for application direct virtual memory management. The method includes detecting a system memory access to a virtual memory address within a monitored page of data not loaded in main memory 704 of a computing system 900. The method includes determining a first swap address for a loaded page of data in the main memory 704. The first swap address is defined in a sparse virtual address space 1014 exposed by a persistent storage device 914. The first swap address is associated in an index 1012 with a first deterministic storage location. The index 1012 is managed by the persistent storage device 914. The method includes storing the loaded page on a persistent storage device 914 at the first deterministic storage location. The method includes moving the monitored page from a second deterministic storage location to the main memory 704. The second deterministic storage location is associated with a second swap address in the index 1012.
