Abstract

Large page memory pools are managed. Thresholds are used to determine if the number of pages in a large page memory pool is to be adjusted. If the number of pages is to be increased, a particular technique is provided for adding additional pages to the pool. Further, if there are too many pages in the pool, one or more pages may be removed.
