4DAMON: Data Access MONitoring and Access-aware System Operations
5================================================================
6
7DAMON is a Linux kernel subsystem for efficient :ref:`data access monitoring
8<damon_design_monitoring>` and :ref:`access-aware system operations
9<damon_design_damos>`.  It is designed for being
10
11 - *accurate* (for DRAM level memory management),
12 - *light-weight* (for production online usages),
13 - *scalable* (in terms of memory size),
14 - *tunable* (for flexible usages), and
15 - *autoamted* (for production operation without manual tunings).
