Thanks a lot, I think the piece of code that I need to read is try_to_swap_out. But in that piece of code, is pte a hardware bit or a software bit. If I need a 2 bit clock - based on 1 hardware bit(if pte is a hardware bit). Where am I going to find the other software bit, is there anything that I can use? Also how can one design programs to test the efficiency of page replacement alogorithms? --- "Naidu, Venkata" <Venkata.Naidu@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > -> Hi, > -> I am wondering if someone could explain or point > me to > -> the piece of code detailing linux page > replacement > -> algorithm. > > Look at the recent doc explaining Linux VM: > http://www.skynet.ie/~mel/projects/vm/ > > -> I know that it using some sort of 1 bit clock LRU > -> algorithm ..
