Add code for different page-placement algorithms to baseline Linux-3.15.0 kernel #2

Closed wali-ku closed 7 years ago

wali-ku commented 7 years ago

Add code to handle the following page-placement algorithms:

Greedy (Lazy Coloring)
Random (Balanced)
Round Robin
Best Bin

Create a clean interface to select one of these algorithms at run-time

wali-ku commented 7 years ago

The following algorithms have been added:

Random
Round Robin
Best Bin

Greedy algorithm could not be added because the baseline PALLOC structure has been modified which has removed the 'sysctl_alloc_balance' feature. In essence, the 'Random' algorithm in the current version is the greedy algorithm originally thought of.
