Linux-mm.org is a wiki for documenting how memory management works and for coordinating new memory management development projects.  Please help editing this wiki.  Thank you.

== Documentation ==

Information on how to tweak the Linux kernel memory management subsystem can be found on the LinuxMMDocumentation page.  If you want to know how things work on the inside, please see LinuxMMInternals.

== Projects ==

Some of the more active current Linux memory management projects are:
  * CompressedCaching and compressed swap.  Reduce I/O by keeping more data in memory.
  * AdvancedPageReplacement  The time needed to swap a single program into memory is ever increasing, so page replacement is becoming more and more important.
  * NetworkStorageDeadlock - storage over network has a deadlock problem, where it can take memory to free memory.
  * PageTrace - a kernel patch and tool to analyze memory access patterns.
  * HugePages - Improving the availability and usability of huge pages

== Site News ==
  * 2006-04-09, thanks to [http://people.redhat.com/duffy/ Maureen Duffy], Linux-MM now has a cute logo. Thank you, Maureen.
