...Kernel documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress; that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered documents into a coherent whole. ARC processors are highly configurable and several configurable options are supported in Linux. Some options are transparent to software (i.e cache geometries, some can be detected at runtime and configured and used accordingly, while some need to be explicitly selected or configured in the kernel’s configuration utility.

This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository. stress-ng will stress test a computer system in various selectable ways. It was designed to exercise various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various operating system kernel interfaces. stress-ng was originally intended to make a machine work hard and trip hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system bugs that only occur when a system is being thrashed hard. Use stress-ng with caution as some of...

RapidDisk is a Linux kernel module to dynamically create, remove, and manage RAM disk volumes. Ramdisks are a method by you which can allocate parts of your RAM for high performing file data storage.

Compressed caching is a new level in the virtual memory hierarchy, where pages are stored in some compressed format, decreasing the number of page faults that are serviced by slow hard disks. We aim to implement this idea in the Linux Kernel.

BDwrap is a template for writing stackable block device drivers on Linux. It's clean interface hides the complexity of device handling, asynchronous calls, buffer cache interaction, etc. It is a great tool to develop stacked block drivers quickly.

The cache-optimized concurrent skip list is a set of algorithms for maintaining dynamic ordered mappings. Top-down balancing algorithms minimize cache-misses while using a per-node read-write spinlock to coordinate shared access. Designed for Linux 2.4.

The Freedows OS Project is creating an open source core Kernel architecture based on the Stanford Cache Kernel model, with the aim to create a stable platform for kernel-level multi-platform emulation.

"Free Cache" is simple utility for freeing up the cached memory if possiable.
