Self-Paging in the Nemesis Operating System
In contemporary operating systems, continuous media (CM) applications are sensitive to the behaviour of other tasks in the system. This is due to contention in the kernel (or in servers) between these applications. To properly support CM tasks, we require "Quality of Service Firewalling" between different applications.
This paper presents a memory management system supporting Quality of Service (QoS) within the Nemesis operating system. It combines application-level paging techniques with isolation, exposure and responsibility in a manner we call self-paging. This enables rich virtual memory usage alongside (or even within) continuous media applications.
