I have a lot of page faults when using Sugar SAT based solver












0















I am using Sugar v2-3-3 (an SAT-based Constraint Solver) with minisat solver2.2.0 to run an experiment, I run my experiment on Kernel Linux server with 16GB RAM and 4 VCPU and I am using Java version 10 (Java Max Heap size is 12 GB and Min size is 8GB).



The experiment is based on running 5 different sugar files 400 time and extracts the average CPU, memory and time (using the command /usr/bin/time) for running each file. However, when scrolling the output of the time command I noticed that there is a lot of page faults, leading to irrational results, where the CPU percent for some of the large files is lower than smaller ones. The maximum file I have is 100MB.



Can anyone help me to explain why I am having page fault although I have big enough memory, and how to avoid page fault?
The results are as follows:



⦁   50.27%      00:05.03        211303.68
⦁ 43.22% 00:15.03 480789.36
⦁ 43.19% 00:21.25 577915.12
⦁ 40.86% 00:26.07 717707.88
⦁ 41.22% 00:30.49 853791.88
