Below are some memory management research papers that my classmate shared with the rest of us on Piazza¹. Quickly scanning over the papers, I think the material will point me in the right direction and will paint a clearer picture of how I might want to approach writing my memory coordinator. I do wonder if I should just experiment on my own for a little and take a similar approach for part 1 project, when I wrote a round robin (naive) scheduler for CPU scheduling. We’ll see.
