LinuxMMDocumentation contains information on how to tweak the Linux kernel memory management subsystem. ... LinuxMMInternals explains how some of the Linux kernel memory management works. ... Some of the more active current Linux memory management projects are:
linux-mm.org/ linux-mm.org/
Linux implementations ... The only problem is, the advanced page replacement algorithms need to keep a history of recently evicted pages, and we don't want to spend too much memory or cpu on that. ... Memory Management Links...

When physical memory becomes scarce the Linux memory management subsystem must attempt to free physical pages. This task falls to the kernel swap daemon ...

After this documentation was released in July 2003, I was approached by Prentice Hall and asked to write a book on the Linux VM under the Bruce Peren's Open Book Series. The book is available and called simply "Understanding The Linux Virtual Memory Manager".

Overview of memory management ... The reason Linux uses so much memory for disk cache is because the RAM is wasted if it isn't used. Keeping the cache means that if something needs the same data again, there's a good chance it will still be in the cache in memory.
