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 ==
 * [[LinuxMMDocumentation]] contains information on how to tweak the Linux kernel memory management subsystem.
 * [[LinuxMMInternals]] explains how some of the Linux kernel memory management works.

== Community ==
 
To subscribe to the linux-mm mailing list, email majordomo@kvack.org and tell it you want to "subscribe linux-mm".

If you like IRC, you can join us on irc.oftc.net in #mm.

You can also discuss things on the [[http://forum.kernelnewbies.org/list.php?13|Kernelnewbies Memory Management web forum]].

== Projects ==
Some of the more active current Linux memory management projects are:

 * [[http://code.google.com/p/compcache/|CompressedCaching]] - 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
 * [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxsuperpages|Superpages]] - Port of Rice University's Superpages to Linux (2.6 kernel).

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