Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to techniques for zeroing memory in computing systems where access to memory is non-uniform. One embodiment provides a method which includes receiving, via a system call, a request to delete a memory region. The method also includes forwarding the request to an intermediate software thread, and using the intermediate software thread to perform the request as a background process. The method further includes, upon receiving a message from the intermediate software thread, returning to a system caller, while performing the request, via the intermediate software thread, continues in the background.

Claim (Index 8):
The system of  claim 7 , wherein the operation further comprises:\n receiving, from a process, a request for a page of memory, wherein a size of the requested page is above a predetermined threshold; determining that an amount of available memory is lower than the size of the requested page; and transmitting an indication of the amount of memory pending free to the process, wherein the process determines whether to wait for the request to be granted, based at least in part, on the indicated amount of memory pending free.
