DAMON Publications and Presentations

Table of Contents

Below is a list of publications and presentations that cover DAMON project.

This list is not exhaustive and is compiled to the best of our ability, as some publications or presentations may have been made without the knowledge of the DAMON maintainers.

What to read/cite?

For people who more familiar to academic papers, DAMON papers for Middleware'19 Industry and HPDC'22 are recommended to read and/or cite. The paper for Middleware'19 covers DAMON’s monitoring mechanisms and access pattern profiling-guided optimizations. The paper for HPDC'22 extends the coverage to DAMOS (automated access-aware system operations) and user-space driven auto-tuning.
