| Dan Magenheimer | c89126e | 2012-02-15 07:54:18 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | RAMster allows RAM on other machines in a cluster to be utilized |
| 13 | dynamically and symmetrically instead of swapping to a local swap |
| 14 | disk, thus improving performance on memory-constrained workloads |
| 15 | while minimizing total RAM across the cluster. RAMster, like |
| 16 | zcache, compresses swap pages into local RAM, but then remotifies |
| 17 | the compressed pages to another node in the RAMster cluster. |
