In-memory-space Optane should only be a matter of supportin gthe timings of Optane and its write cycle, which is much like FLASH. Another question would be about Optane-based accelerator/caching boards that Intel has been selling. I haven't worked for Intel for several years now, so I do not know if these are still current products but it seems so from a cursory search. The caching products alone should really speed up web and network servers, so IMHO this is a must-have for FreeBSD. -- Don Wilde **************************************************** * What is the Internet of Things but a system * * of systems including humans? * ****************************************************
