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.

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.

Intel demos next-gen memory chip

Phase-change memory consumes little power, lasts far longer than conventional memory, and can hold large amounts of data in a small space. Code-named Alverston, the chip is a phase-change memory device.
