The -rmap (reverse mapping) VM is an attempt to fix some of the fundamental virtual memory management problems that have plagued Linux since its introduction to larger machines and more complex workloads. It is an attempt at a more flexible and robust VM. While little performance tuning and optimisation has been done yet, people have found it to perform better than the standard VM for various workloads. This version of the kernel RPM with -rmap VM is based on 2.4.18 as shipped by Conectiva and the latest stable -rmap version 12 VM. These kernel RPMS, with stable -rmap VM, are available from: http://nl.linux.org/pub/linux/conectiva/kernel-rmap/ ftp://nl.linux.org/pub/linux/conectiva/kernel-rmap/ More experimental versions of the -rmap VM can be found on: http://surriel.com/patches/ http://linuxvm.bkbit.net/ kind regards, Rik -- http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
