This mini-course will look at techniques for tuning systems for a large memory workload. We will take a look at how the kernel allocates memory, both allocation and reclamation. Most of this is done automatically, but there are a couple of points where we can influence the algorithms used by the kernel. This is an extract from the "Red Hat Performance Tuning" course.

Outline:

• Memory Management
• Finding Memory Leaks
• Tuning Swap
• Memory Reclamation
• Nun-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA)

Instructor: Andrew Dingman, Red Hat
Schedule: 1 pm to 4 pm
