DAMON is lightweight. It increases system memory usage by 0.39% and slows target workloads down by 1.16%.
DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, namely ‘ethp’, removes 76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup. Another experimental DAMON-based ‘proactive reclamation’ implementation, namely ‘prcl’, reduces 93.
