DAMON contains a number of tests based on the kselftest and kunit in its patchset itself. As it is preferred to contain only tests having short runtime in kernel tree, I organized time consuming tests in a package and used it in my company only. Tests could be used as a good document and essential for contributors. For the reason, I promised I will make it open source in the last kernel summit talk (https://linuxplumbersconf....
A DAMON showcase website[1] is open. There are the official documentation of DAMON[2], the heatmap format dynamic access pattern of various realistic workloads for heap area[3], mmap()-ed area[4], and stack[5] area, the dynamic working set size distribution[6] and chronological working set size changes[7], and the latest performance test results[8].

With increasingly data-intensive workloads and limited DRAM capacity, optimal memory management based on dynamic access patterns is becoming increasingly important. Such mechanisms are only possible if accurate and efficient dynamic access pattern monitoring is available. DAMON is a Linux kernel subsystem for such data access monitoring and access-aware system operations. It is designed with its key access monitroing mechanisms and a major feature called DAMOS, that make it accurate (for DRAM level memory management), light-weight (enough to be applied online in production), scalable (keeps above properties regardless of memory size) and automated (tuning and access-aware memory maangement operations)....
