Aims

The aim of this project is to make Linux kernel use working set page replacement algorithm and also to make it possible to impose limints on the amount of memory a process has in main memory (RAM).

Status

20/02/2002 - Second patch (version 0.02) released. This version makes changes to the actual page replacement algorithm. Fixes some meory leaks.

17/02/2002 - First release! (version 0.01). All the data structures are in the kernel and the book keeping is being done. Does not actually change the swap out algorithm. Does not implement the limits yet.

Formal (don't bother)

This project is my "3rd year project" at Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick

Here is the progress report, which includes general theoretical motivation for the project and some development plans.
Note that the second part (disk bandwidth control got dropped)
Date: December 2001
