  2. List of Linux distributions that run from RAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux...

    Tiny Core Linux is an example of Linux distribution that run from RAM. This is a list of Linux distributions that can be run entirely from a computer's RAM, meaning that once the OS has been loaded to the RAM, the media it was loaded from can be completely removed, and the distribution will run the PC through the RAM only.

  3. cgroups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups

    cgroups (abbreviated from control groups) is a Linux kernel feature that limits, accounts for, and isolates the resource usage (CPU, memory, disk I/O, etc. [1]) of a collection of processes. Engineers at Google started the work on this feature in 2006 under the name "process containers". [ 2 ]

  4. Light-weight Linux distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-weight_Linux...

    A light-weight Linux distribution a Linux distribution that uses lower memory and processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a more responsive machine , and allow devices with fewer system resources (e.g. older or embedded hardware ) to be used productively.

  5. zram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram

    zram, formerly called compcache, is a Linux kernel module for creating a compressed block device in RAM, i.e. a RAM disk with on-the-fly disk compression. The block device created with zram can then be used for swap or as general-purpose RAM disk.

  6. MemTest86 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86

    MemTest86 was developed by Chris Brady in 1994. [1] It was written in C and x86 assembly, and for all BIOS versions, was released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). ). The bootloading code was originally derived from Linux 1.2.

  7. CHKDSK - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHKDSK

    On Windows NT operating systems, CHKDSK can also check the disk surface for bad sectors and mark them (in MS-DOS 6.x and Windows 9x, this is a task done by Microsoft ScanDisk). The Windows Server version of CHKDSK is RAID-aware and can fully recover data in bad sectors of a disk in a RAID-1 or RAID-5 array if other disks in the set are intact. [11]

  8. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    Those machines, and subsequent machines supporting memory paging, use either a set of page address registers or in-memory page tables [d] to allow the processor to operate on arbitrary pages anywhere in RAM as a seemingly contiguous logical address space. These pages became the units exchanged between disk and RAM.

  9. Memory ballooning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_ballooning

    The host operating system then unmaps physical memory from those memory pages (with no need to copy them to secondary storage). The released pages of physical memory return to the host machine's pool of available RAM, and the host machine can use them to keep other virtual machines in physical memory and/or to cache secondary storage.
