  • Patent number: 10216414
    Abstract: A method for frame choosing in a computing system during a storage constraint condition is provided. The method includes calculating, with a processor, a use-grouped-threshold, comparing a number of available grouped frames to the calculated use-grouped-threshold, returning a decision to use a grouped frame in an event that the number of the available grouped frames exceeds the calculated use-grouped-threshold and returning a decision to use an above-the-bar frame in an event that the number of the available grouped frames is less than or equal to the calculated use-grouped-threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2019

  • Publication number: 20140082305
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a measurement of storage usage includes sending a request, by a processor, for the measurement of storage usage during execution of an application by the processor; counting blocks of storage to generate the measurement of storage usage by the application; and providing the measurement of storage usage to the application.
