Why write anything to disk if you can just store it in an array?

Why write anything to disk if you can just store it in an array?
- capableweb 4y agoJust one example: sharing data between processes
- otterley 4y agoIf you’re not going to store the data on a fixed medium, you can use mmap for that.
- semi-extrinsic 4y agoIf only there was a standardized, robust, widely available cross-platform Message Passing Interface that could do this. I don't grok why people outside of HPC seem to be shunning MPI. The shared-nothing memory model and asynchronous nature of MPI makes it very similar in spirit to a lot of the current web dev tech, AFAICT.
