TMO: transparent memory offloading (20250916)

TMO: Transparent Memory Offloading in Datacenters | Communications of the ACM

interesting paper from meta on memory management in heterogenous memory (DDR, NVM SSD, etc.) environments and outlines their TMO tool’s operation. of additional interest here is the use of a userspace process that’s monitoring various bits of application performance and tickling the kernel interfaces to move things around.
