I was spec'ing a new laptop tonight, and noticed it had 1 GB of 'Turbo
Memory' -- this is a new Intel specification that uses flash memory to cache
frequently used items and is only available in Windows-land with Vista. It is
not CPU cache nor RAM.
Does anyone know of any work being done to access this new technology in
Linux?
Google lead me to this:
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/turbomemory/index.htm?iid=prod_cpro-overview+rhc_turbo
Perhaps you could use the "contact us" link at the top of that page to
ask intel?
And then report back.
At the very least, it services to show interest, and Intel may well be
doing something about it.
It's also worth asking on one or both of RHEL{4,5} lists. I've not
noticed him recently, but there has been an Intel chap hanging out there.
