Abstract
A memory monitoring method and a computing system. The computing system includes a processor, a memory and a monitor. The monitor obtains memory unit access information and process information of the computer system. The memory unit access information includes the number of access times of each memory unit of the memory. The process information includes information about a mapping relationship between a virtual address and a physical address of each memory units accessed by the current running process. After generating monitoring information, which includes the frequency at which the current running process accesses each memory unit, according to the memory unit access information and the process information, the monitor feeds the monitoring information back to the processor. Thus, the processor can perform memory management according to the monitoring information.
