Abstract: A method, apparatus and product for accelerating concurrent access to a file in a memory-based file system. The method comprising receiving a request issued by a program, for accessing a file stored in a memory-based file system; and subject to the request being associated with data modification of data within the file, and subject to the modification not necessitating change in a structure of a data structure used for content lookup for the file, acquiring a lock to the file to the program, wherein the lock is acquired in a shared mode.

Abstract: Method, apparatus and product for data cloning in a memory-based file systems. A content of each object of the file system is retained in data units and represented using a tree of the nodes comprising tree nodes and leaf nodes. The file system utilizes a volatile resource usage collection and volatile reference counters for each node of the nodes. In response to mounting the file system, a storage retaining a file system metadata is scanned to compile the volatile resource usage collection and the volatile reference counters. In response to a determination to reuse a pointed node of a tree of an object by a pointing node, a volatile reference counter of the pointed node is updated and the pointing node is atomically set, using a single instruction, to point to the pointed node.

Abstract: A method and system for compute element state replication is provided. The method includes transforming at least a subset of metadata of a source compute element from a memory tier of the source compute element to a block representation; within a destination compute element, mounting the block representation; reverse transforming the metadata to a memory tier of the destination compute element; and using the reverse transformed metadata to operate the destination compute element.

Abstract: Method, system and product for direct access to de-duplicated data units in memory-based file systems. The method comprising: updating a page entry in a page table of a process to include a direct access pointer to a de-duplicated data unit retained by the memory-based file system, wherein the page entry is set to be write protected; detecting a page fault occurring due to the process performing a store instruction to the de-duplicated data unit; and in response to said detecting: allocating a new data unit; copying content of the de-duplicated data unit to the new data unit; and replacing the direct access pointer to the de-duplicated data unit with a direct access pointer to the new data unit.
