Page Cache, the Affair Between Memory and Files (2009)
- Arkanosis 8y agoIf you enjoy this article, I highly recommend the other articles in the archives [1], especially the 2008-2009 series. By the way, the author also created Grokbit [2], a search engine for source code that's just… amazing.

- techbio 8y agoNote to self (and anyone else): check out https://grokbit.com https://grokbit.com after all the traffic from this post gets handled. Looks like it (attempts to) serve a very popular need. Time to bring my side-project up a couple of notches.

- Arkanosis 8y agoFor Linux at least, have a look at resources on kernel.org: eg. https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand013.html#toc67 https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand... or https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/ https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/ “Professional Linux Kernel Architecture” by Wolfgang Mauerer is also a great read. And don't forget hardware vendors' documentation, such as http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/24593_APM_v2.pdf http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/24593_APM_v... (there's much more in it than just assembly instructions)
