So will regular RAM become "level 4 cache" and Optane exist on the other side of that?
Basically you run everything you can in memory and then just mmap() in the files you want to use?
- CyberDildonics 8y agoI would say that it basically already is.
- marshray 8y agoBut that's how we do it now. It's just that Optane persistent storage is attached to a different bus with much better latency and throughput. Probably categorically and disruptively better. How will user-mode applications refer to their persistent data if not by a filesystem path? You gotta put access permissions on some kind of object that humans can copy-and-paste into their backup scripts.
