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.

Projects
Some of the more active current Linux memory management projects are:
CompressedCaching ([http://code.google.com/p/ccache/ Project Home Page]) 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
