Approach to Manage Resources in Linux

Abstract:-The paper reviews of research are an effort to develop a resource management framework for Linux. The framework consists of a basic infrastructure that allows resources such as CPU, Memory, Disk I/O to be controlled and monitored. It investigates the development of resource management, the alternative solutions proposed and the challenges faced for developing such a framework The paper describes the most essential concepts, such as an infrastructure, controllers, feedback and monitoring of resources. Each resource controller has its own set of problems to solve. Since the work is being done for a large community of Linux users, the addition of a new feature such as this, should not impact existing users or users who are not interested in using resource management. The paper looks at two commonly used resources, CPU and memory. The resource control and monitoring mechanisms developed for them is described in great detail in two separate chapters devoted to the
