Google Summer Of Code



(People who are subscribed to tech-kern, sorry for the cross-post)

I'm wishing to take part in the Google Summer Of Code, specifically implementing something similar to

http://linuxcompressed.sourceforge.net/

Basically, the project will add a level to the virtual memory subsystem cache that allows compressed and uncompressed pages. The advantage of these compressed pages in the cache are that on small systems with a limited amount of the main memory the effective memory size can be increased.

I'm not inherently familiar with the uvm and pmap APIs but I've spent most of today looking through the man pages and source code and believe it's something I could accomplish.

Thanks,
Matt
