Question

This assignment includes two closely related (and reasonably short)

papers, a landmark paper from Peter Denning describing working set

theory and a paper from Carr and Hennessy on virtual memory

management. Note that Hennessy is the other co-author of our

Computer Architecture text. As usual, provide a summary and your

reaction for each paper. Please refer back to the first couple of

assignments and announcements for reaction expectations, this is a

separate section of your report that is just as important as the summary.

Peter Denning, "The Working Set Model for Program Behavior",

Communications of the ACM, 1968.

Richard Carr and John Hennessy, "WSClock -- A Simple and Effective

Algorithm for Virtual Memory Management", Proceedings of the

Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, 1981.
