the matter. I would like to know what is missing in the current set of
tools (lmbench, dbench..) and what is required.

Most of the current "VM tests" don't seem to have anything
like a working set.  This basically means that one of the
central and important parts of the VM - page replacement -
isn't getting tested AT ALL.

It might be interesting to have some "working set emulator"
where a program accesses N out of M MB of total memory a
lot and the rest a little, where N, M and the ratio between
the accesses are varied in such a way that the system is
confronted with various sizes of workload.

	We will start creating a list of variables needing to be
measured and any current solutions/ideas to test them.

	o Working Set

	Please add to the list.

					Bye,
						Abhi.
