lockmem

Builds

This utility allows you to lock every available memory regions of an arbitrary process into its working set. It uses ntdll!NtLockVirtualMemory (syscall used internally by VirtualLock) to lock memory ranges as well as GetProcessWorkingSetSizeEx and SetProcessWorkingSetSizeEx to increase the size of the process' working set.

The Windows kernel guarantees that those pages will stay resident in memory, not written to the pagefile and not incur a page fault on access.
