Examples provide a method of communication between a client application and a filesystem server in a virtualized computing system. The client application executes in a virtual machine (VM) and the filesystem server executes in a hypervisor. The method includes: allocating, by the client application, first shared memory in a guest virtual address space of the client application; creating a guest application shared memory channel between the client application and the filesystem server upon request by the client application to a driver in the VM, the driver in communication with the filesystem server, the guest application shared memory channel using the first shared memory; sending authentication information associated with the client application to the filesystem server to create cached authentication information at the filesystem server; and submitting a command in the guest application shared memory channel from the client application to the filesystem server, the command including the authentication information.

Provided are systems and methods for paging data into main memory from checkpoint data stored on disk. In one example, the method may include one or more of receiving a request for a database record in main memory, determining whether the database record has been previously stored in the main memory, in response to determining that the database record has been previously stored in the main memory, identifying a slice where the database record was stored from among a plurality of slices included in the main memory, and paging content of the identified slice including a copy of the requested database record into the main memory from a snapshot captured of content included in the identified slice and previously stored on disk. Accordingly, documents can be paged into main memory on-demand from snapshots of slice content rather than paging an entire partition of content.

Placement decisions may be made to place data in a multi-tenant cache. Usage of multi-tenant cache nodes for performing access requests may be obtained. Usage prediction techniques may be applied to the usage to determine placement decisions for data amongst the multi-tenant cache nodes. Placement actions for the data amongst at the multi-tenant cache nodes may be performed according to the placement decisions.

A system, method and apparatus to facilitate data exchange via pointers. For example, in a computing system having a first processor and a second processor that is separate and independent from the first processor, the first processor can run a program configured to use a pointer identifying a virtual memory address having an ID of an object and an offset within the object. The first processor can use the virtual memory address to store data at a memory location in the computing system and/or identify a routine at the memory location for execution by the second processor. After the pointer is communicated from the first processor to the second processor, the second processor can access the same memory location identified by the virtual memory address. The second processor may operate on the data stored at the memory location or load the routine from the memory location for execution.

Data base performance is improved using write-behind optimization of covering cache. Non-volatile memory data cache includes a full copy of stored data file(s). Data cache and storage writes, checkpoints, and recovery may be decoupled (e.g., with separate writes, checkpoints and recoveries). A covering data cache supports improved performance by supporting database operation during storage delays or outages and/or by supporting reduced I/O operations using aggregate writes of contiguous data pages (e.g., clean and dirty pages) to stored data file(s). Aggregate writes reduce data file fragmentation and reduce the cost of snapshots. Performing write-behind operations in a background process with optimistic concurrency control may support improved database performance, for example, by not interfering with write operations to data cache. Data cache may store (e.g., in metadata) data cache checkpoint information and storage checkpoint information. A stored data file may store storage checkpoint information (e.g., in a file header).

An information processing apparatus includes a network interface, a storage device, and a processor. The processor is configured to assign a plurality of zones in the storage device. Each of the zones is a contiguous physical address range of the storage device that is mapped to a contiguous logical address range. The processor is configured to generate zone management information for each of the plurality of zones, store content received from the origin server via the network interface, in one of writable zones and update a writable address of the zone management information for the one of the writable zones. The processor is configured to operate to transmit the received content, and control the storage device to delete data stored therein in units of a zone upon a predetermined cache clearing criteria being met.

A processor may allocate a first buffer segment from a buffer pool. The first buffer segment may be configured with a first contiguous range of memory for a first data partition of a data table. The first data partition comprising a first plurality of data blocks. A processor may store the first plurality of data blocks in order into the first buffer segment. A processor may retrieve the target data block from the first buffer segment in response to a data access request for a target data block of the first plurality of data blocks.
