Hi all,
I have an application on x86-64 that will require me sharing two memory segments upwards of 10+ GB each among several processes. Would it be better performance-wise to mmap in two files from a tmpfs filesystem, or, create two large ramdisks (/dev/ram0 & /dev/ram1) and mmap those in?
I'm not concerned about swap, but rather just trying to avoid as much kernel overhead as possible while accessing gobs of memory.
Thanks, -Byron
