DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM HAVING A NETWORK AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MEMORY BY STORING DISCARDABLE PAGES IN A LOCAL PAGING DEVICE

摘要

A method in a data processing system for managing data within the data processing system. A discardable page that is to be removed from the memory is identified. A determination is made as to whether performance will increase by storing the discardable page in a paging device located within the data processing system. If it is determined that performance will increase, the discardable page is marked as a paged discardable page and stored in the paging device locally, wherein this page may be retrieved from the paging device.
