AdvancedPageReplacement The time needed to swap a single program into memory is ever increasing, so page replacement is becoming more and more important. CarbonKernel CarbonKernel is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) simulator based on event-driven simulation techniques. CML2 CML2 is a configuration system, centered around a domain-specific minilanguage, that has been written to replace the code that currently handles build-option selection for Linux kernels. Compressed Caching for 2.6.x kernels Compressed caching is the introduction of new layer in virtual memory hierarchy -- Compressed Cache. It compresses and stores pages that would otherwise have been swapped to slow disks or freed under memory pressure. This effectively increases RAM space and avoids /reduces accesses to slow disks. This basically takes advantage to rapidly increasing CPU power, faster, lower latency memories and sluggish hard-disk speed improvements. doLinuxKernel dLK is a handy tool for those who know how to configure the kernel but want to do it fast and painlessly. DynAMOS DynAMOS is a dynamic kernel updating system founded on a new dynamic instrumentation technique called adaptive function cloning.

Fiasco Fiasco is a microkernel with real-time capabilities running on x86 PCs. It is compatible with the L4 microkernel. GKHI Generalised Kernel Hooks Interface is a generalised facility for placing hooks or exits in arbitrary kernel locations. It enables many kernel enhancements, which are otherwise self-contained, to become loadable kernel modules and retain a substantial degree of independence from the kernel source. Hotplug2 Hotplug2 is a trivial replacement of some of the UDev functionality in a tiny pack, intended for Linux early userspace: Init RAM FS and InitRD. The binary is (x86, dynamically linked against glibc) 18 KiB with -Os (v0.9). Yet it includes ability to parse rules and execute actions accordingly. It basically takes the best from both worlds -- the flexibility of udev with the distributing events design of hotplug. It can be used to create devices or to just load modules (which is it's primary goal). IBM Object Storage Device Simulator for Linux The OSD Simulator is an implementation of an object-based storage device. It functions as a reference implementation compliant with the T10-OSD standard specification. The protocol is implemented over iSCSI (SCSI over IP). The simulator is a Linux user mode application and was tested with the open-source OSD initiator for Linux. This simulator uses the local file system to store objects: Partitions are translated to directories and user objects to files. The simulator uses GDBM (libgdbm, which is a GNU library) to store attributes. KDB KDB is the built-in kernel debugger for linux. This debugger is part of the linux kernel and provides a means of examining kernel memory and data structures while the system is operational.

Lockmeter Kernel Spinlock Metering for Linux is used to instruct the kernel to turn lock metering on or off, and to retrieve the metering data from the kernel and display it in a human-readable format Medusa DS9 Medusa DS9 consists of two major parts, Linux kernel changes and the user-space daemon. Kernel changes do the monitoring of syscalls, filesystem actions, and processes, and they implement the communication protocol. The security daemon communicates with the kernel using the character device to send and receive packets. microcode_ctl microcode_ctl decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver to be uploaded to Intel P6 family processors and signals the kernel driver to release any buffers it may hold. NetworkStorageDeadlock NetworkStorageDeadlock, storage over network has a deadlock problem, where it can take memory to free memory. OpenVZ kernel OpenVZ is a modified Linux kernel with additional support for OpenVZ Virtual Environments (VE, also known as VPS). VEs are isolated, secure environments on a single physical server, enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each VE performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; VEs can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries, and configuration files. Due to a single kernel model, OpenVZ has native performance and very high density. It is the core of Virtuozzo. pk pk is an Open-Source POSIX Threads real-time kernel.
