Performance of a Data Base Manager in a Virtual Memory System
Summary: Empirical evaluation of a DBMS buffer pool in a virtual memory system, focusing on page fault rate as pool size changes. Multifactor study varying memory size, buffer size, and memory/buffer replacement algorithms to expose tradeoffs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
