Hi:

OOh, the original author here! Thanks a lot.

Let's assume Mn is the total number of non-resident pages in follow words.

Nod, 'M=Mh+Mc' and 'Mc+Mn' < 2M are always true.

Have this implied that Mn is alway less than M? I think so.

but if "Once the number exceeds M the memory size in number of pages,
we terminted the test period of the cold page pointed to by HAND-test."

If Mn is alway less than M, when we move to HAND-test?

Or, my view have error.

I doublt on this, in fact.

Good luck.

My question is out:As this paper words, the number of cold page is total of resident cold pages
and non-resident pages. It's the seem number of non-resident cold pages can not beyond M at all!



You are right. So the total number of pages (non-resident + resident)
around the clock is no more than 2m (m is the memory size in pages).



I also have more questions on CLOCK-Pro. but this question is most doublt for me.



I am happy to help. I also have the clock-pro simulator that
almost exactly simulates what's described in the paper. Let me
know if you want it.
