|
|
This module allows you to use in-memory data structures which are
|
|
larger than available memory and so are kept in swap. If you try this
|
|
in normal OCaml code, you'll find that the machine quickly descends
|
|
into thrashing as the garbage collector repeatedly iterates over
|
|
swapped memory structures. This module lets you break that
|
|
limitation. Of course the module doesn't work by magic :-) If your
|
|
program tries to access these large structures, they still need to be
|
|
swapped back in, but it is suitable for large, sparsely accessed
|
|
structures.
|
|
|
|
Secondly, this module allows you to share those structures between
|
|
processes. In this mode, the structures are backed by a disk file,
|
|
and any process that has read/write access that disk file can map that
|
|
file in and see the structures.
