Unleashing Accelerated Speeds with RAM Drives
Playing with Blocks
Conclusion
At times, it might be necessary to process data at high speeds, and sometimes you can get away with using volatile memory as your backing store. In this article, I looked at the RapidDisk kernel RAM drive module, which not only enables performant block devices, but also makes them shareable across a network of compute nodes.
