is under achieving the goal, DAMOS automatically increases the quota. If DAMOS
is over achieving the goal, it decreases the quota.
The goal can be specified with three parameters, namely ``target_metric``,
``target_value``, and ``current_value``. The auto-tuning mechanism tries to
make ``current_value`` of ``target_metric`` be same to ``target_value``.
Currently, two ``target_metric`` are provided.
The goal can be specified with four parameters, namely ``target_metric``,
``target_value``, ``current_value`` and ``nid``. The auto-tuning mechanism

DAMOS does the measurement on its own, so only ``target_value`` need to be
set by users at the initial time. In other words, DAMOS does self-feedback.
- ``node_mem_used_bp``: Specific NUMA node's used memory ratio in bp (1/10,000).
- ``node_mem_free_bp``: Specific NUMA node's free memory ratio in bp (1/10,000).
``nid`` is optionally required for only ``node_mem_used_bp`` and
``node_mem_free_bp`` to point the specific NUMA node.
