Before revision:  In this paper, we  propose a new OS-level abstraction, namely Deterministic Memory, to define memory regions that are specially handled by the OS and the hardware to exhibit strong real-time guarantees . We show that the deterministic memory abstraction can be introduced in the OS at the granularity of single memory pages by exploiting existing hardware support.
After revision:  In this paper, we propose a new holistic resource management approach driven by a new memory abstraction, which we call Deterministic Memory. The key characteristic of deterministic memory is that the platform - the OS and hardware support.
