Hi All    My compuer is i7 with 32 GB ram without swap, i try to launch 28 vm 
with 1GB ram each, it runs smoothly.If I launch 64 VMs, after the VMs eat up 
all the memory, the linux hang. If the linux is lack of memory, the OOM will 
try to kill process, right? And the OOM should pick those qemu-kvm processes to 
kill, but seems the OOM don't pick qemu-kvm or the OOM failed to kill qemu-kvm 
processes.
    If I turn on swap, although 64 VMs with 1GB ram each will make my computer 
very slow, but at least it won't hang.
Can anybody explain this?
below is my computer information:
