Lifetime Function & Partitioning

Discussion

If the virtual memory uses the local mode of paging in a multiprogrammed system, the partition size that maximizes the ratio L(m)/m has been shown to produce the best throughput. As described in [D9] , the space-time of a process is minimum at this point which is also called the knee of the lifetime curve.
