+==========================
+DAMON: Data Access MONitor
+==========================
+
+DAMON is a Linux kernel subsystem that provides a framework for data access
+monitoring and the monitoring results based system operations.  The core
+monitoring mechanisms of DAMON (refer to :doc:`design` for the detail) make it
+
+ - *accurate* (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level memory
+   management; It might not appropriate for CPU Cache levels, though),
+ - *light-weight* (the monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied online),
+   and
+ - *scalable* (the upper-bound of the overhead is in constant range regardless
+   of the size of target workloads).
+
+Using this framework, therefore, the kernel can operate system in an
+access-aware fashion.  Because the features are also exposed to the user space,
+users who have special information about their workloads can write personalized
+applications for better understanding and optimizations of their workloads and
+systems.
+
+For easier development of such systems, DAMON provides a feature called DAMOS
+(DAMon-based Operation Schemes) in addition to the monitoring.  Using the
+feature, DAMON users in both kernel and user spaces can do access-aware system
+operations with no code but simple configurations.
