ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a main memory space reclaiming apparatus used in a virtual memory computer system. In this apparatus, a page-out daemon process periodically scans page frames of a main memory and reclaims main memory pages which have not been accessed recently. An operating system includes a unit for acquiring the amount of free main memory, and a unit for controlling a rate at which the page-out daemon process scans the page frames according to the amount of free main memory.
