ABSTRACT
In most computer systems, page fault rate is currently minimized by generic
page replacement algorithms, which try to model the temporal locality inherent
in programs. In this paper, we propose two algorithms, one greed and the other
stochastic, designed for program specific code restructuring as a means of
increasing spatial locality within a program. Both algorithms effectively decreas
average working set size and hence the page fault rate. Our methods are more
effective than traditional approaches due to use of domain information. We
illustrate the efficacy of our algorithms on actual data mining algorithms.
