Tweaking the Linux Kernel to manage memory and swap usage

This writeup is assuming you are tweaking to the minimise swap and maximise physical memory. This tweaking should be considered especially for High Performance MPI applications where good low latency parallelism between nodes is very essential.

In addition, this writeup also help you to “kill” runaway memory applications. For more information, see Tweaking the Linux Kernel to manage memory and swap (Linux Cluster)
