C client API for memcached memory object caching system
memcached optimizes specific high-load serving applications that are designed
to take advantage of its versatile no-locking memory access system. Clients
are available in several different programming languages, to suit the needs
of the specific application. Traditionally this has been used in mod_perl
apps to avoid storing large chunks of data in Apache memory, and to share
this burden across several machines.
.
Danga Interactive developed memcached to enhance the speed of
LiveJournal.com, a site which was already doing 20 million+ dynamic page
views per day for 1 million users with a bunch of webservers and a bunch of
database servers. memcached dropped the database load to almost nothing,
yielding faster page load times for users, better resource utilization, and
faster access to the databases on a memcache miss.
.
This package contains the shared libraries (C client API) for
memcached. If you are looking for a Perl client API, please see the
libcache-memcached-perl package.
