Ask HN: Are there any articles/papers on fine tuning Virtual Memory BSD or Linux

I'm interested in fine tuning it for environments like multiuser (order of hundreds) servers handling independent databases (mostly MySQL) and server runing at the same time many nginx/Apache serving web pages.

I'm also interested to know.

My contribution to the discussion:

Something you could use to debug issues / detect weak points is a tracer.

This book by Dick Sites (Early Google Engineer) goes over the design and use of such a tracer: Understanding Software Dynamics (review: https://www.usenix.org/publications/loginonline/understandin...)

That's an interesting resource. Thank you very much for mentioning it!
