Long-range dependencies in reading memory pages in the man-computer system interaction

This paper shows that the organization of computer system memory as a hierarchical structure can lead to the existence of long-memory effect during the man-computer interaction. As a point of reference, the rate at which the operating system resolves data from hard drive caused by the hardware page faults in the virtual memory mechanism can be given. The existence of such a phenomenon can be considered in terms of statistical mechanics and Hurst parameter.
