To do so, they sample the OSF paging statistics periodically. The general conclusions: they found a surprising amount of dissimilarity in the paging behaviors of nodes within the same program, both in terms of the amount of paging and the timing of peak paging activity. These characteristics do not bode well for systems that use gang scheduling, or applications that have a lot of barriers.} }
