Cachelot is a LRU cache Library.
The library works within a fixed amount of memory. No garbage collector. Small metadata, near perfect memory utilization (overhead is 5-7% of the total memory).
Besides memory management, Cachelot ensures smooth responsiveness, without any “gaps” for both read and write operations.
Cachelot can work as a consistent cache, returning an error when out of memory or evicting old items to free space for new ones.
Key Features
- Memcached-compatible distributed caching server that tends to better hardware utilization and performance.
- Single-threaded by design, Cachelot can make CPU work 99% of the time, not wasting cycles on locks and RAM access. 1024-core scalable. NUMA-aware. Simple.
- Cachelot keeps more items in the same amount of RAM than Memcached.
