Question
I was looking for open-source applications that make use of large/huge memory pages (OS memory pages with size > 4KB) on Linux (x86-64). I wanted study how large pages are used today. Can somebody points me to few such applications?
Thanks
Arka
Solution
Memcached and MySQL both have the option to use large pages if they're available.
OTHER TIPS
And finally, with recent Linux kernels having support for transparent hugepages, programs can/will make use of it without knowing they do.
