Abstract

Disclosed are various approaches for decreasing the latency involved in reading pages from swap devices. These approaches can include setting a first queue in the plurality of queues as a highest priority queue and a second queue in the plurality of queues as a low priority queue. Then, an input/output (I/O) request for an address in memory can be received. The type of the I/O request can be determined, and then the I/O request can be assigned to the first queue or the second queue of the swap device based at least in part on the type of the I/O request.
