Description

Virtual Memory Simulator is a simulator for paging systems. It includes its own scripting language, and memory usage can be seen in real-time. This package is distributed as a tarball from Fresh Meat. It has auto-configuration support for your local Linux setup.

Evaluation

I was unable to get it to compile correctly (some files gave C errors). While it could be that this is a local problem for my system, the issue here is that it is too difficult for typical users to get this system set up. So it might or might not be a good tool, but it will need repackaging with an easier installation model to be of value to others. Either that, or it just needs to be debugged/brought up to date.
