Undervolting is the flip side of overclocking. Both count on the fact
that a typical CPU has some operational margin; it does a bit better
on the speed/voltage curve than the specs guarantee. Most motherboards
that enable overclocking can also be undervolted; it's something to
explore if you are
I'm looking for some advice on tuning my linux box's memory management.
I've got an older workstation that has merely 4GB of memory. If I try
to run Firefox, and a few java apps (e.g., Eclipse), my machine thrashes
about and effectively locks up because of out-of-memory issues.
For example: the

How Swap and Memory are used is controlled largely by the 'swappiness'
setting. The default is correct for servers but not for workstations.
swap - How do I configure swappiness? - Ask Ubuntu
The Linux kernel provides a tweakable setting that controls how often
the swap file is used, called

16GB seems like a small amount of memory to me; I generally use 24GB or
more. Different strokes...

If so, stop doing that. If not, let us know. Then, maybe there are
other solutions.
The memory leak wrt Firefox has been an issue

Install more RAM or stop using programs that use more RAM than you have.

I have not experimented with shutting down Firefox with multiple windows
and tabs,
Hardware design, several things. Primarily EM simulation and big FPGA sim,
complex analog sim, or just big schematics. When doing a schematic review,
it is helpful to have half a dozen or more large PDFs (datasheets) open
while viewing schematics, a few spreadsheets, some Word Visio design

In principle, everything that supports dynamic frequency scaling has a
