Linux has this function built in. You can easily create a ramfs with the mount command: mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk Most Linux Distros that run off live CD/USB can be told to load the entire OS to RAM at startup. In most cases if you are running a live system everything is going to be erased on reboot unless you tell it otherwise. So if you have enough RAM (and most full desktop Linux system are probably around 1.5GB, but many are much lighter), the only draw back is that it will take a few minutes for everything to copy to RAM while booting. Also, many Linux devices such as routers, modems, and IOT devices create and load the system to a RAM drive with a small partition on flash for storing settings.

My main use for this is NVIDIA Shadowplay: a 7.5 minute recording at 1080p 60 FPS in high quality takes up about 3GB in temporary files (which are automatically deleted when you save the recording) but is always recording in "Shadow" mode. Another use is for saving downloads and then running the installers/apps from there; since it'll be faster too and you'll get rid of them anyway.

@xurtis7 жыл бұрын
The SSD can't control your RAM, but they do have an internal cache that might be faster than the storage flash or you may install software on your system to do that, but yes, I beleive recent versions of windows do something similar to what linux does. I think it generally works out as a better use than an actual ram disk as you get decent speed improvement but less volatility. You just need to make sure your disks sync before you detatch them I'm not sure on the windows front, but linux will inform software that, if it can fit a disk write into free memory, that the write happened almost instantaneously whilst it stores the data in RAM until the actual write is completed. If something looks for that data before the write finishes, it gets grabbed straight from RAM. Linux will also try and figure out which chunks of data get accesses most frequently from disk and try and stick them in RAM too.

Most of what's done during loading times is processing on that data, decompression, rendering, etc.

Friend had a pretty read/ write heavy Minecraft modpack running on a server so a few of us could play it together. Client side it ran fine from a standard disk drive but the server was always hitting the max IOPS of the disk drives and causing too much lag. Solution was to move the Minecraft server directory and modpack to a RAM drive. Set the drive up to save the contents of the RAM drive to an image file on a HDD every 10 minutes. Server lag went away. Only downside was the CPU got more of a workout due to the higher IOPS to the RAM. Either way it worked out fine with a 6 core Intel CPU and 12 GB RAM in 3 channel config. What does this mean? RAM drives can be useful in certain situations. OF course a good alternative would a pair of NVME drives running in RAID 0 but that's fairly expensive and not all systems support RAID on PCI E based drives spanning multiple slots.

I am actually surprised that there are not PCIe expansion cards that have some low profile RAM slots on them that the user can populate, along with a battery, for use as a RAM drive. That would be pretty great. I know he mentioned that they exist in the video, but I don't see why there are not more affordable versions.

I read recently about a carbon nanotube technology being developed which will have a DDR4 interface ( == really, really fast) but will be nonvolatile like flash. That's going to be kind of exciting when that comes to market.

I can totally imagine to have something like this in pci express x16 to provide zero latency, high bandwidth cache for SSD :) Eg. LVM cache

What if, hypothetically, you had a drive of l1 cache that was a reasonable size, how much would it cost, and how fast would it be?

I'm considering purchasing an ethernet switch for LAN parties. Could you do a video on what to consider when perusing the market for these guys? There are a lot of different versions of models that have different features I'm not really sure I need.

I've installed a ram drive on a laptop; it has sped up the grid computing program. Not such a noticeable improvement on my desktop, though. Q1. Is it possible to set up a ram drive 'within' a video card? Q2. Would this be an improvement over a ramdisk installed in dimms?
