Is there a Memory Faulting Graph Available?
Yes, as of March 2002, a graph was developed to represent a new approach to evaluating the “effect” of page faulting. Instead of simply using the number of faults as being good or bad, the graph depicts the “cost” of the faults as the measure of good or bad. The ‘cost’ of a fault is the time for the disk operation (read) to complete. The ‘cost’ can vary depending on the arm utilization at the time of the fault.
