RE: [Xen-devel] Memory de-duplication

Hello Kaustubh --

I'm sorry I didn't reply to your earlier direct email.

Tmem internals documentation can be found in the Xen
source tree under docs/misc... here is the document:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-04/msg01031.html 

There is a brief discussion about page deduplication and
the data structures used to support it... other than
that and the code, there are no other details but
I would be happy to respond to specific questions.

There are also some performance results from the
last Xen Summit North America here:

http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem/dist/documentation/presentations/TranscendentMemoryXenSummit2010.pdf
 

Note that the deduplication is performed only on pages
in tmem ephemeral pools.  If you are interested in page
sharing across all guest memory, that is a completely different
project.

Thanks,
Dan
