+===============
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+This document briefly describes how you can use DAMON by demonstrating its
+default user space tool.  Please note that this document describes only a part
+of its features for brevity.  Please refer to :doc:`usage` for more details.
+
+
+TL; DR
+======
+
+Follow the commands below to monitor and visualize the memory access pattern of
+your workload. ::
+
+    # # build the kernel with CONFIG_DAMON_*=y, install it, and reboot
+    # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
+    # git clone https://github.com/awslabs/damo
+    # ./damo/damo record $(pidof <your workload>)
+    # ./damo/damo report heat --plot_ascii
+
+The final command draws the access heatmap of ``<your workload>``.  The heatmap
+shows which memory region (x-axis) is accessed when (y-axis) and how frequently
+(number; the higher the more accesses have been observed). ::

+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+Kernel
+------
+
+You should first ensure your system is running on a kernel built with
+``CONFIG_DAMON_*=y``.
+
+
+User Space Tool
+---------------
+
+For the demonstration, we will use the default user space tool for DAMON,
+called DAMON Operator (DAMO).  It is available at
+https://github.com/awslabs/damo.  The examples below assume that ``damo`` is on
+your ``$PATH``.  It's not mandatory, though.
+
+Because DAMO is using the debugfs interface (refer to :doc:`usage` for the
+detail) of DAMON, you should ensure debugfs is mounted.  Mount it manually as
+below::
+
+    # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
+
+or append the following line to your ``/etc/fstab`` file so that your system
+can automatically mount debugfs upon booting::
+
+    debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults 0 0
+
+
+Recording Data Access Patterns
+==============================
+
+The commands below record the memory access patterns of a program and save the
+monitoring results to a file. ::
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/sjp38/masim
+    $ cd masim; make; ./masim ./configs/zigzag.cfg &
+    $ sudo damo record -o damon.data $(pidof masim)
+
+The first two lines of the commands download an artificial memory access
+generator program and run it in the background.  The generator will repeatedly
+access two 100 MiB sized memory regions one by one.  You can substitute this
+with your real workload.  The last line asks ``damo`` to record the access
+pattern in the ``damon.data`` file.
+
+
+Visualizing Recorded Patterns
+=============================
+
+The following three commands visualize the recorded access patterns and save
+the results as separate image files. ::
+
+    $ damo report heats --heatmap access_pattern_heatmap.png
+    $ damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --plot wss_dist.png
+    $ damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --sortby time --plot wss_chron_change.png
+
+- ``access_pattern_heatmap.png`` will visualize the data access pattern in a
+  heatmap, showing which memory region (y-axis) got accessed when (x-axis)
+  and how frequently (color).
+- ``wss_dist.png`` will show the distribution of the working set size.
+- ``wss_chron_change.png`` will show how the working set size has
+  chronologically changed.
+
+You can view the visualizations of this example workload at [1]_.
+Visualizations of other realistic workloads are available at [2]_ [3]_ [4]_.
