MemFS V2 - A Memory-Based File System on HP-UX 11i V2

Tags:
storage management

Overview MemFS requires a user process to be associated with each of its instances. The memory allocated in the process address space of this user process is used to store the data from the reallocated pages. These user memory pages can be paged out to the system swap device whenever there is system memory pressure. This white paper discusses how MemFS in HP-UX 11i v2 is designed and it differs from a RAMdisk. It will also cover the performance implications and guidelines to configure MemFS.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Thanks for the memory

When I was 29, I was given the job of buying some computer memory. In those days buying any kind of equipment was a big deal - but memory was one of the biggest. We now build-in memory to displace other functions such as raw processing power and time.

Doctors turn to iPods and open source to cut costs

They don't fit on discs, they don't fit on memory sticks. It's not different to copying it to CD or memory discs. When it came time to find a way to store the high-res images, Ratib turned to another Apple staple - the iPod.
