Memory tiering in the Python virtual machine at SPLASH VMIL
Python programs place data across memory tiers badly, because the interpreter knows what objects mean while the operating system knows where the pages are, and neither tells the other. Our work on memory tiering inside the virtual machine appeared at the 17th SPLASH Workshop on Virtual Machines and Language Implementations in Singapore. Congratulations to Yuze Li, Shunyu Yao and co-authors.
