ABSTRACT:
A system and method for improving dynamic memory removals by reducing the file cache size prior to the dynamic memory removal operation initiating are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the maximum amount of physical memory that can be used to cache files is reduced prior to performing a dynamic memory removal operation. Reducing the maximum amount of physical memory that can be used to cache files causes the page replacement algorithm to aggressively target file pages to bring the size of the file cache below the new maximum limit on the file cache size. This results in more file pages, rather than working storage pages, being paged-out.
