Abstract
A system and methods are provided for implementing a selected segment size of a shared memory object in a paged-segmented operating system. A user selected shared memory object autonomic promotion feature enables a selected segment size of a shared memory object for a user application. A paged-segmented operating system receiving a request for a shared memory object of a user application, accesses the user selected shared memory object autonomic promotion feature to identify a user selection. An identified user selection is evaluated with secondary criteria for the request shared memory object for the user application and a segment size is set. The operating system creates a shared memory object with the set segment size for the user application. Enabling shared memory objects to be supported by a large segment size reduces the number of segments used for a single shared memory object and application performance can be significantly improved.
