  abstract =     "Paging activity can be a major factor in determining
                 whether a software workload will run on a given
                 computer system. A program's paging behavior is
                 difficult to predict because it depends not only on the
                 workload processed by the program, but also on the
                 level of storage contention of the processor. A
                 program's fault rate function relates storage
                 allocation to the page fault rate experienced while
                 processing a given workload. Thus, with the workload
                 defined, the fault rate function can be used to see how
                 the program's storage allocation is affected by varying
                 levels of storage contention, represented by varying
                 fault rates. The author presents a technique to
                 represent program workloads and estimate the fault rate
                 function, and describes how these results can be used
                 in analyzing program performance.",
