Release of the in-memory data caching system , operating on data in key/value format and distinguished by its ease of use. Memcached is commonly used as a lightweight solution to accelerate high-load websites by caching access to databases and intermediate data. Code under the BSD license.
In the new version support for saving cache state between restarts. Memcached can now dump the cache to a file before shutting down (the file must be on a RAM disk) and load it on the next startup, avoiding load spikes on content handlers due to an empty cache (the cache becomes "warm" immediately). The new release also includes support for persistent memory devices (persistent-memory, such as NVDIMM) through their mounting using DAX (direct access to the file system bypassing page cache without using block device layer).
