Abstract
Techniques for accessing off-heap memory are disclosed. The system may receive a memory segment layout definition for a memory segment in a physical memory of a machine. The memory segment layout definition defines a number of elements and a number of sub-elements in each element of the plurality of elements. The system may allocate the particular memory segment in the physical memory and may store a reference to a position of a sub-element. The system may receive a request to access a first sub-element of a particular element of the plurality of elements. Based on the request, the system may identify the memory segment corresponding to the plurality of elements, identify the particular element of the plurality of elements, identify the first sub-element of the plurality of elements based the position of the first sub-element, and execute an Input or Output (IO) operation corresponding to the request.
