[jira] [Commented] (MNEMONIC-748) A new memory service of Memkind

["Wang, Gang (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNEMONIC-748?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17560832#comment-17560832 ] 

Wang, Gang commented on MNEMONIC-748:
-------------------------------------

h3. libvmem

 

The *libvmem* library turns a pool of persistent memory into a volatile memory pool, similar to the system heap but kept separate and with its own malloc-style API.

See the [libvmem page|https://pmem.io/vmem/libvmem] for updates
{quote}*Note:* Since persistent memory support has been integrated into [libmemkind|https://github.com/memkind/memkind], that library is the *recommended* choice for any new volatile usages, since it combines support for multiple types of volatile memory into a single, convenient API.

> The kinds of memory are defined by operating system memory policies that have been applied to virtual address ranges. Memory characteristics supported by memkind without user extension include control of NUMA and page size features. The jemalloc non-standard interface has been extended to enable specialized arenas to make requests for virtual memory from the operating system through the memkind partition interface. Through the other memkind interfaces the user can control and extend memory partition features and allocate memory while selecting enabled features.
