This project required modification of existing code. …
Read MoreIt’s been three months already since the last time I wrote something ;) Time really flies by quickly when you are doing interesting stuff. We’ve been very busy with lots of improvements to the library as well as A LOT of tiny fixes: over the last three months the team eliminated …
Read MoreIn a B+ tree, splitting a full leaf into two leaves is one of its slowest operations, but pmemkv optimizes this using a zero-copy strategy. Rather then copying any key/value data between full and new leaf, pmemkv splits leaves by swapping persistent structures in place. This minimizes write …
Read MoreWe’ve blogged before about building and optimizing key-value stores for persistent memory, and we’re excited to put these ideas to the test in a more formal way. Our new pmemkv project is an open-source key-value store that is optimized for read-heavy workloads on persistent memory. …
