I want to create a file that only resides in memory... In looking through some documentation I saw a recommendation to use a shell extension as a virtual file. Im not sure that is a workable solution but I would like to know Is it a good approach (or should I be using a ramdisk instead) Where is a good place to start to read up on it...
Duplicate: RAMDrive for compiling - is there such a thing? I have an idea how to speed up my IDE. I want to create a RAM disk and move my solution onto this virtual disk. I think that this can speed up the IDE because RAM is much faster than a HDD. Has anyone done this before? PS: I think, when I have some documents in my progra...
I wanted to speed up compilation so i was thinking i could have my files be build on a ramdisk but also have it flushed to the filesystem automatically and use the filesystem if there is not enough ram. I may need something similar for an app i am writing where i would like files to be cached in ram and flushed into the FS. What are my ...
hi, i am seeking advise on this one. i have a machine with 24 GB so i was planning to install Vista 64bit and nothing on it but Vmware workstation 6.5 Vista Image, that ill be installed on a RAM Disk i will make on the main Vista. now in this way the whole Vmware Image will be in RAM so i will install VS 2008 in it and put all my sites...
I've seen one idea on this blog, it seems a great solution especially if you work on a laptop because you don't have to fear the thunder, but you might fear the blue screen of death. We can also use a software to synchronize the RAM disk with another folder on the hard drive. Do you have any ideas to improve the productivity of develope...
We have a command line exe that takes input from a text file and produces an output text file. It is used for complex industrial simulations. The source code for this exe is long gone. Now it was easy enough to create a .NET wrapper which controls the execution of this exe and links in with an external app via a web service. Unfortune...
I am searching for opensource,platform independent ramdisk so that I can do some modifications in ramdisk application to work with my specifications. Is there any possibility that I can achieve this? What are the available options for me? ...
I am trying to understand how Boost memory mapped files work. The following code works, it does what it is supposed to do, but the problem is that the file it generates is stored on disk (in the same directory of the executable) instead of memory. Maybe there is a flag to set somewhere, but I could not find it... Thanks in advance for an...
I was just wondering, we have in memory database(IMDB) and we also have a way to put the database in a RAM Disk. So which would be faster? You valuable comments and experiences ...
Q1: My GCC precompiled header takes up 150 mb -- yes I'm using obscure TMP libraries from Boost. Anyone have any tips of benefiting from a PCH this large ? any makefile snippets which I could use to create a ram-disk(tmpfs) or something (transparently / on the fly) ? Q2: Is there some way I could daemonize GCC ? -- after all if it stays...
I have a program that is very heavily hitting the file system, reading and writing to a set of working files. The files are several gigabytes in size, but not so large as to not fit on a RAM-disk. The machines this program runs on are typically Ubuntu Linux boxes. Is there a way to configure the file manager to have a very very large...
I was wondering how can I make the IO faster by writing and reading temporary files to main memory. I've used to write to /dev/shm in Linux. But now I'm in Windows 7. Anyone knows the answer ? Thanks ...
I would like to do something like this: chroot /mount-point /path/to/script $var1 $var 2 Will this work? Will the chrooted Perl script be passed on these 2 parameters? If not, how to do this? Otherwise, is there any way to simply do chroot in the script, and then start doing commands such as perl script.pl $var1 $var2 etc? As I u...
Hi Guys, I have a PHP application that for every request loads 1 ini file, and at least 10 PHP files. As these same files are loaded for every single request I thought about mounting them on a ram disk but I have been told that the linux filing system (ext3) will basically cache them in some way that a ram disk would not improve perfor...
Hi, I have just started using 0xlab's android port. I have been successfully able to create the file system and have been able to flash it as well. However, I have 2 questions to ask: 1) How do I create a ramdisk image and what should be the bootargs given at the uboot prompt for this. (I tried using ramdisk.img created in out/target/be...
I am using an embedded system running linux.I use a ramdisk filesystem on the embedded target. My application captures real-time data and does Standard C "fwrite" to a file in this ramdisk fs.As there is limited amount of memory , I would like to set a max size for the file and cause fwrite to wrap around like a circular buffer. Is there...
A python program I created is IO bounded. The majority of the time (over 90%) is spent in a single loop which repeats ~10,000 times. In this loop, ~100KB data is generated and written to a temporary file; it is then read back out by another program and statistics about that data collected. This is the only way to pass data into the secon...
