  • A Hybrid Swapping Scheme Based on Per-Process Reclaim for Performance Improvement of Android Smartphones (August 2018)
    Received August 19, 2018, accepted September 14, 2018, date of publication October 1, 2018, date of current version October 25, 2018. Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ACCESS.2018.2872794 A Hybrid Swapping Scheme Based On Per-Process Reclaim for Performance Improvement of Android Smartphones (August 2018) JUNYEONG HAN 1, SUNGEUN KIM1, SUNGYOUNG LEE1, JAEHWAN LEE2, AND SUNG JO KIM2 1LG Electronics, Seoul 07336, South Korea 2School of Software, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 06974, South Korea Corresponding author: Sung Jo Kim ([email protected]) This work was supported in part by the Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education under Grant 2016R1D1A1B03931004 and in part by the Chung-Ang University Research Scholarship Grants in 2015. ABSTRACT As a way to increase the actual main memory capacity of Android smartphones, most of them make use of zRAM swapping, but it has limitation in increasing its capacity since it utilizes main memory. Unfortunately, they cannot use secondary storage as a swap space due to the long response time and wear-out problem. In this paper, we propose a hybrid swapping scheme based on per-process reclaim that supports both secondary-storage swapping and zRAM swapping. It attempts to swap out all the pages in the working set of a process to a zRAM swap space rather than killing the process selected by a low-memory killer, and to swap out the least recently used pages into a secondary storage swap space. The main reason being is that frequently swap- in/out pages use the zRAM swap space while less frequently swap-in/out pages use the secondary storage swap space, in order to reduce the page operation cost.
