Abstract

The MM summit, held as part of the larger LSF/MM summit gathers the leading memory management developers to get down to the bits and bytes of burning issues and solve them by having a discussion in a forum of other memory management hackers. As Jon Corbet puts it: “The LSF/MM Summit is arguably the most severely technical event on many kernel developers’ schedules.”
