Summary : OCaml library for large memory structures and sharing
URL : http://git.annexia.org/?p=ocaml-ancient.git;a=summary
License : LGPLv2+ with exceptions
Description : Ancient is an OCaml module that allows you to use in-memory data
: structures which are larger than available memory and so are kept in
: swap. If you try this in normal OCaml code, you'll find that the
: machine quickly descends into thrashing as the garbage collector
: repeatedly iterates over swapped memory structures. This module lets
: you break that limitation. Of course the module doesn't work by magic.
: If your program tries to access these large structures, they still
: need to be swapped back in, but it is suitable for large, sparsely
: accessed structures.
:
: Secondly, this module allows you to share those structures between
: processes. In this mode, the structures are backed by a disk file, and
: any process that has read/write access to that disk file can map that
: file in and see the structures.
:
: Developers should read the README.txt file included with the
: ocaml-ancient-devel package carefully.
