About this tag
The working set tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Windows memory management concept of a process's working set, which is the set of memory pages currently resident in physical RAM. Topics include using the SetProcessWorkingSetSize API to adjust the minimum and maximum working set size for a process, and interactions with memory allocation functions like VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree. Specific issues such as high CPU load during VirtualFree when using the PAGE_NOCACHE flag are examined, with comparisons across Windows versions like XP. The tag is relevant for developers and advanced users working with Windows memory management, performance tuning, and troubleshooting memory-related behavior in applications.
