Memopt++ — an adaptive Linux memory governor in C++

I built a small project called Memopt++ — an adaptive Linux memory governor written in C++.

It monitors memory pressure in real time and uses:

• cgroups v2 (memory limits)
• ZRAM (compressed RAM swap)
• KSM (page deduplication)
• Adaptive pressure-based modes

Goal: prevent system slowdowns and OOM kills under heavy workloads (e.g., 20+ browser tabs, Docker, VSCode on 8GB RAM).

It acts before memory becomes critical instead of reacting after OOM.
