  • Simulation of memory-mapped I/O
    Patent number: 7441254
    Abstract: A converter program creates a simulated executable portion of code so that the operating system loader believes that a read only file stored on a hard drive of data consists of executable code and thereby memory-maps the read only file into virtual memory from storage. The result is that a large database may be memory-mapped into the processor virtual memory instead of the file having to be opened using standard file application program interface operations.
