Force processes to use swap in memory

Force processes to swap memory (Ubuntu 18.04) When benchmarking processes, looking how a process perform when swapping memory can be useful. Since the operating system determines the memory allocation policy, testing with limited memory can be cumbersome. One could try to fill the virtual memory with other processes to limit the available memory but since the operating system tries to swap inactive processes, our benchmarked process will probably remain in virtual memory. In any case, we cannot know this for certain. ...
