+%         Registration           Examining Linux 2.6 Page-Cache Performance   
+%  [2]Register/Submit Proposal Sonny Rao (raosanth@us.ibm.com)                
+
+
+Given the current trends towards ubiquitous    
+64-bit server/desktop computing with large     
+amounts of cheap system memory, the            
+performance and structure of the Linux         
+page-cache will undoubtedly become more        
+important in the future, and we believe an     
+analytical and empirical examination of        
+performance will be valuable in guiding future 
+development.                                   
+
+The current 2.6 radix-tree based design        
+represents a huge leap forward from the old    
+global hash-table design, but we also beleive  
+there may be some issues with the current      
+radix-tree structure itself.                   
+
+We have three main concerns about the current  
+implementation:                                
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Radix tree keys are unnecessarily long      
+especially on LP64 systems which can cause     
+radix trees to perform poorly                  
+
+\item The common case of in-order insertion of    
+pages into the radix tree could most-likely be 
+improved                                       
+
+\item Parallel access to the radix-tree structure 
+\end{enumerate}
+
+We will cover our analysis of the current      
+implementation and discuss potential           
+improvements for these issues using a          
+combination of analytical models and our       
+measurements of improvement using              
+proof-of-concept implementations of ideas such 
+as: extendible hashing techniques, trading     
+space for time by altering the \ident{MAP_SHIFT}
+setup, using smaller radix keys combined with  
+larger logical page sizes, and possibly        
+others.

+% The file must begin with this \documentclass declaration. You can 
+% give one of three different options which control how picky LaTeX 
+% is when typesetting:
+%
+% galley - All ``this doesn't fit'' warnings are suppressed, and 
+%          references are disabled (the key will be printed as a
+%          reminder).  Use this mode while writing.
+%
+% proof -  All ``this doesn't fit'' warnings are active, as are
+%          references.  Overfull hboxes make ugly black blobs in
+%          the margin.  Use this mode to tidy up formatting after
+%          you're done writing.  (Same as article's ``draft'' mode.)
+%
+% final -  As proof, but the ugly black blobs are turned off.  Use
+%          this to render PDFs or PostScript to give to other people,
+%          when you're completely done.  (As with article, this is the
+%          default.)
+%
+% You can also use the leqno, fleqn, or openbib options to article.cls
+% if you wish.  None of article's other options will work.
+
+%%%
+%%% PLEASE CHANGE 'galley' to 'final' BEFORE SUBMITTING.  THANKS!
+%%% (to submit: "make clean" in the toplevel directory; tar and gzip *only* your directory;
+%%% email the gzipped tarball to papers@linuxsymposium.org.)
+%%%
+\documentclass[galley]{ols}
+
+% These two packages allow easy handling of urls and identifiers per the example paper.
+\usepackage{url}
+\usepackage{zrl}
+
+% The following package is not required, but is a handy way to put PDF and EPS graphics
+% into your paper using the \includegraphics command.
+\ifpdf
+\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
+\else
+\usepackage{graphicx}
+\fi
+
+
+% Here in the preamble, you may load additional packages, or
+% define whatever macros you like, with the following exceptions:
+%
+% - Do not mess with the page layout, either by hand or with packages
+%   (e.g., typearea, geometry).
+% - Do not change the principal fonts, either by hand or with packages.
+% - Do not use \pagestyle, or load any page header-related packages.
+% - Do not redefine any commands having to do with article titles.
+% - If you are using something that is not part of the standard
+%   tetex-2 distribution, please make a note of whether it's on CTAN,
+%   or include a copy with your submission.

+% Mandatory: article title specification.
+% Do not put line breaks or other clever formatting in \title or
+% \shortauthor; these are moving arguments.

+\subtitle{ }  % Subtitle is optional.
+\date{}             % You can put a fixed date in if you wish,
+                    % allow LaTeX to use the date of typesetting,
+                    % or use \date{} to have no date at all.
