Towards Increased Datacenter Efficiency with Soft Memory
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 19TH WORKSHOP ON HOT TOPICS IN OPERATING SYSTEMS, HOTOS 2023(2023)
摘要
Memory is the bottleneck resource in today's datacenters because it is inflexible: low-priority processes are routinely killed to free up resources during memory pressure. This wastes CPU cycles upon re-running killed jobs and incentivizes datacenter operators to run at low memory utilization for safety. This paper introduces soft memory, a softwarelevel abstraction on top of standard primary storage that, under memory pressure, makes memory revocable for reallocation elsewhere. We prototype soft memory with the Redis key-value store, and find that it has low overhead.
