- Frequently Asked Questions
- ==========================
- Does DAMON support virtual memory only?
- =======================================
- No. The core of the DAMON is address space independent. The address space
- specific monitoring operations including monitoring target regions
- constructions and actual access checks can be implemented and configured on the
- DAMON core by the users. In this way, DAMON users can monitor any address
- space with any access check technique.
- Nonetheless, DAMON provides vma/rmap tracking and PTE Accessed bit check based
- implementations of the address space dependent functions for the virtual memory
- and the physical memory by default, for a reference and convenient use.
- Can I simply monitor page granularity?
- ======================================
- Yes. You can do so by setting the ``min_nr_regions`` attribute higher than the
- working set size divided by the page size. Because the monitoring target
- regions size is forced to be ``>=page size``, the region split will make no
- effect.
