Very pleased to say that I've now finished the first draft of my book, The Linux Memory Manager.

https://linuxmemory.org/

This represents 2 years of evenings and weekends, tons of research, 99.9% from first principles and the kernel source.

There's still plenty of editing to go, but the content is written! 1,351 pages of it (!).

I am not sure on ultimate release date as it depends on how the edit goes, but we're closer now :)

As you can see from the pic, I'm very very tired but also very happy to have finished.

I think I'll chill for a while before I get back to a leisurely edit, read books, watch films, play games, spend time with my wife and cats and do a bunch of stuff the book took out of my life for a long while!

Now I'll go to bed early I think! :)

I found "Unusable Free Space Index", which is a good metric to represent the amount of fragmentation, from Mel Gorman's paper[1]. I implemented it as a script called 'ufsi.py'[2], and used it in researches and profiling. While using it, I started wrongly thinking the name of the metric is "ufsi". I have again used the wrong name in LSFMM session of yesterday, and apparently it made one people or two bit confused. Clarifying here, though I unsure how many people will read this. Sorry if I made you bit confused, again.

I just sent two sets of patches for DAMON-based tiered memory management [1] and access/contiguity-aware memory scaling[2]. These have been on the back burner for a while, but I was able to get a little more work done this time around because they are the main topics of tomorrow's LSFMM session - presentation-driven development definitely works!
