Application Areas for HP-UX Memory File System
Applications that will benefit most from HP-UX MemFS are those that perform mostly
metadata intensive operations like creating and deleting small files and directories. For
example compilers, editors and sorting applications. MemFS never writes metadata of files to
disk, so directory and file manipulation is always a performance gain. Applications can also
interact with MemFS files using the mmap interface.
