Hello all, here are my 2 euros ...
Why don't you act with the memory as you act with the CPU ?
I mean : If the machine needs it, swap the info to disk, give the memory
back, and go survey the machine's need until you can grab the memory again.
It's not as real time as if can be done to steal the Cpu-idle cycles, but
should lead to a reasonable situation.
It would fit my usage of big machines, since I need all the memory sometime,
the same way I need all the CPU sometime, and that's why I bought that
amount of memory for it... but it gets to be idle very often and then you
can get all the memory if you want.
Rgds all,
