This document briefly describes how you can use DAMON by demonstrating its
default user space tool. Please note that this document describes only a part
-of its features for brevity. Please refer to :doc:`usage` for more details.

-TL; DR
-======
-
-Follow the commands below to monitor and visualize the memory access pattern of
-your workload. ::
-
- # # build the kernel with CONFIG_DAMON_*=y, install it, and reboot
- # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
- # git clone https://github.com/awslabs/damo
- # ./damo/damo record $(pidof <your workload>)
- # ./damo/damo report heat --plot_ascii
-
-The final command draws the access heatmap of ``<your workload>``. The heatmap
-shows which memory region (x-axis) is accessed when (y-axis) and how frequently
-(number; the higher the more accesses have been observed). ::

Visualizing Recorded Patterns
=============================
-The following three commands visualize the recorded access patterns and save
-the results as separate image files. ::
-
- $ damo report heats --heatmap access_pattern_heatmap.png
- $ damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --plot wss_dist.png
- $ damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --sortby time --plot wss_chron_change.png
-
-- ``access_pattern_heatmap.png`` will visualize the data access pattern in a
- heatmap, showing which memory region (y-axis) got accessed when (x-axis)
- and how frequently (color).
-- ``wss_dist.png`` will show the distribution of the working set size.
-- ``wss_chron_change.png`` will show how the working set size has
- chronologically changed.

+Data Access Pattern Aware Memory Management
+===========================================
+
+Below three commands make every memory region of size >=4K that doesn't
+accessed for >=60 seconds in your workload to be swapped out. ::
+
+ $ echo "#min-size max-size min-acc max-acc min-age max-age action" > test_scheme
+ $ echo "4K max 0 0 60s max pageout" >> test_scheme
+ $ damo schemes -c test_scheme <pid of your workload>
