    Why does it take so long to switch from one CPU architecture to another? For example, switching from Intel to ARM. Isn't it enough to compile the source codes in an ARM machine to make them compatible in ARM as well?

    Abstract question about Hardware RAM disks

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 05:38 AM PDT

    Long ago (2006ish) you used to be able to buy battery backed up RAM disks. These things typically a PCI card, that housed a few sticks of RAM, had a built in battery that would last for 48 hours or so, and presented to the OS exactly like a hard drive... Now I know you can create a "ram disk" using software with your regular memory, but this was different because it could survive reboots and indeed you could even take it out of a computer and stick it in another one. The advantage obviously was speed, these things were faster than any regular HD, I think they would be even faster than the fastest NVMe Gen 4.0 disk by a mile, the limitation was strictly the speed of the connection...

    So what happened to them? Can you still get them? or was the size of the volume just too small to be useful?

    Another thing I was wondering is, why can't a regular NVMe SSD disk be combined with some RAM and a battery to allow for really fast writes... writes are sent to RAM, which is battery backed so they can't be lost, then written to the SSD... that would make writes insanely fast.

    I'm not seeing anything like this, so I guess there is either a technical or commercial reason not to do it, but I don't know what.

    Thoughts appreciated.
