Determining which function or set of functions to use for managing memory in yourWin32AATM application is difficult without a solid understanding of how each group offunctions works and the overall impact they each have on the Microsoft(R) Windows NTAATM operating system. In aneffort to ...
let's say 4GB. If I use memory mapped files in READ mode I should be able to get a valid pointer to a file and benefit from the page fault mechanism of virtual memory but apparently iOS can map only up to 2.5GB of data. I run the following ...
The mmap_size applies separately to each database file, so the total amount of process address space that could potentially be used is the mmap_size times the number of open database files.To activate memory-mapped I/O, an application can set the mmap_size to some large value. For ...
Let’s delve deeper into what page faults are in the context of memory-mapped files and why they matter. When our program tries to access a part of a mapped file not yet loaded into physical memory, the system triggers a page fault. This is a request to the OS to fetch the required...
Accessing memory mapped files is faster than using direct read and write operations for two reasons. Firstly, a system call is orders of magnitude slower than a simple change to a program's local memory. Secondly, in most operating systems the memory region mapped actually is the kernel's ...
In this sense, the file takes the place of the paging file as the backing storage for the particular range of virtual memory addresses into which it has been mapped. Typically, the backing storage for virtual memory is the system paging file. But with memory-mapped files, things change. ...
Memory mapped files may sounds alien to the managed code developer but it has been around for years, what is more, it is so intrinsic in the OS that practically any communication model that wants to share data uses it behind the scenes. ...

The thing is,libtorrent2.x memory-mapped files model may be great improvement for I/O performance, but users are confused about RAM usage. And seems like this is not related to particular platform, both Windows and Linux users are affected. ...
However, it is also possible to represent device memory or any other OS object that can be accessed via a file handle as a memory mapped file structure. In Windows, memory mapped files can also be backed by the system page file rather than by a separate file system object....
