Abstract
The presentation includes the following :
 * Measuring Linux memory fragmentation in a running Linux kernel across each zones and each order including overall levels as well.
 * Memory fragmentation analysis with respect to Linux smart phones from boot-up to application launching and terminating.
 * Memory fragmentation analysis with respect to Linux smart phones from boot-up to application launching and terminating. 3) Tools to invoke kernel higher-order page allocation and analyze allocation success and failure cases.
 * Tracking higher-order allocation in kernel and its advantages.
 * Observations and experimental results for higher-order allocation success with respect to the implementation.
 * Few experimentation data.
 * Summary and what can be done further and further plans.
