mmapbased
Mmapbased refers to software architectures and implementations that rely on memory-mapped I/O, where files or devices are mapped into a process's address space. In this approach, data are accessed through pointers in memory rather than through explicit read or write system calls, with the operating system handling paging and coherence. Mappings can be file-backed or anonymous, and changes made in memory can be visible to other processes when a shared mapping is used.
The core mechanism typically involves an interface such as mmap on POSIX systems or MapViewOfFile on Windows.
Advantages of mmapbased designs include reduced data copying, potential latency reductions, and the ability to work
Common use cases encompass databases and in-memory caches that operate on large files, multimedia processing, inter-process
