    It is written to swap when paged out. Non-anonymous (file-backed) mmaped regions. If present in memory and not privately modified the physical page is shared with file cache or buffer. Shared memory acquired through shm_open. The tmpfs in-memory filesystem; written to swap when paged out.

  3. Virtual memory compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory_compression

    Virtual memory compression (also referred to as RAM compression and memory compression) is a memory management technique that utilizes data compression to reduce the size or number of paging requests to and from the auxiliary storage. [1] In a virtual memory compression system, pages to be paged out of virtual memory are compressed and stored ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    These motherboards often have a four pin straight header, with pin 2 missing, for connecting to an external 3.6v battery, such as the Tadiran TL-5242/W, when their soldered-on batteries run out. Ni–Cd batteries have a tendency to leak devastatingly after a period of disuse, damaging components and traces on the circuit board near the battery.

  5. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    Therefore, flash memory may wear out quickly if used as swap space under tight memory conditions. On the attractive side, flash memory is practically delayless compared to hard disks, and not volatile as RAM chips. Schemes like ReadyBoost and Intel Turbo Memory are made to exploit these characteristics.

    The newest Option ROM version is a 13 series ROM, this ROM will not be used by motherboard manufacturers for the X79 chipset BIOS, and it can be injected into a BIOS to use on the X79 with modded code, for those MFG's who have added a ROM switch, this is where the MFG has added both RST and RSTe to the RAID option of a BIOS, but there needs to ...

    The Free Edition (limited to Windows 32-bit Win2000 / XP / 2003) is able to use 'invisible' RAM in the 3.25 to 4 GB 'gap' (if your motherboard has i946 or above chipset) & is also capable of 'saving to hard disk on power down' (so, in theory, allows you to use the RAM disk for Windows XP swap file and survive over a 'Hibernate').

  8. Hot swapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_swapping

    Hot-swapping a hard drive in a storage server. Hot swapping is the replacement or addition of components to a computer system without stopping, shutting down, or rebooting the system; [1] hot plugging describes the addition of components only. [2]

  9. Disk cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_cloning

    Disk cloning is the process of duplicating all data on a digital storage drive, such as a hard disk or solid state drive, using hardware or software techniques. [1] Unlike file copying, disk cloning also duplicates the filesystems, partitions, drive meta data and slack space on the drive. [2]
