ABSTRACT
The swap-before-hibernate (SBH) swaps out all swappable pages before the system enters hibernation mode, thus reducing the memory used by the system and the size of hibernation file. However, when the system resumes, the program must be reloaded into the main memory by swap-in; hence, the response time of program depends on the swap-in speed.
This study experimentally proved that the present swap-in/swap-out mechanism of Linux is not acceptable to the SBH algorithm. Moreover, it proposed the method of reordering all the requests to be written out to the swap space. The proposed method was proven to increase the efficiency of swap space by 1/2 to 1/3.

Swap-before-hibernate: a time efficient method to suspend an OS to a flash drive
SAC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 ACM Symposium on Applied ComputingUnlike a magnetic disk, a flash drive needs no seek time when performing random access. In addition, the read speed of a flash drive is faster than the write speed, and the write speed depends on the I/O request size: the bigger the request size, the ...
