Abstract
Provided is a method, computer program product, and coherent computer system for improving memory management by establishing cooperation between an operating system and a coherent accelerator device (CAD). The CAD may retrieve a set of work elements for completion from a work queue. The CAD may determine a length of time required to complete the set of work elements. The CAD may identify a set of memory pages needed for completing the set of work elements. The CAD may communicate the set of memory pages and the length of time required to complete the set of work elements to a virtual memory manager.
