[LSF/MM TOPIC] [ATTEND] mm track: RAM utilization and page replacement topics

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some (related) topics proposed for the MM track:

1) Optimizing the utilization of RAM as a resource, i.e. how do we teach the
   kernel to NOT use all RAM when it doesn't really "need" it.  See
   http://lwn.net/Articles/475681/ (or if you don't want to read the whole
   article, start with "Interestingly, ..." four paragraphs from the end).

2) RAMster now exists and works... where are the holes and what next?

3) Next steps in the page replacement algorithm:
	a) WasActive https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/300 
	b) readahead http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132750980203130 

4) Remaining impediments for merging frontswap

5) Page flags and 64-bit-only... what are the tradeoffs?

Thanks,
Dan Magenheimer
