Abstract

A pinned memory space for caching data can be provided in a data node. The data that is cached in the pinned memory space can be prevented from being swapped out. A virtual address can be assigned to the data. The virtual address can be mapped to a memory address of the data in the pinned memory space for accessing the data by an application. A first command can be received from the application for caching the data. The first command can indicate an attribute associated with the caching of the data. Responsive to receiving the first command from the application for caching the data, the data associated with the first command can be cached by storing the attribute in association with the data in the pinned memory space.
