We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. 5.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. There are many more parameters we can use to customize the OOM killer to fit our needs.

kills the process(es) that the user would expect.

minimizes the number of killed processes (ideally, to just one).

doesn’t kill innocent processes, but only those that consume a lot of memory.

While making that decision, it tries to minimize the damage by making sure that it: It uses a badness score – which is available through procfs via /proc//oom_score – to decide which processes to kill. The job of the OOM killer is to pick the minimum number of processes when the system is running out of memory and terminate them. This is where the OOM killer comes into the picture. If, however, all processes try to use that same memory space simultaneously, then there will be an integrity issue. That, in turn, allows each process to quickly get more memory space, even though another process may have already claimed the available memory. This makes programming extremely easier, as it enables overcommitting memory.

Linux has this concept of virtual memory, which means that, from the view of each process, the whole physical memory of the entire computer is available for use.

In this section, we’ll briefly touch upon the OOM killer and its underlying mechanics.
