Remember the old days of Windows98?
You used to be able to create a Ram Disk that preformed with Visual Basic just like a hard disk but much faster.
Is there a way of creating a ram disk that will work with VB in Windows XP & Win7 with Sata disks?
Does FAT32 or NTFS apply?
The app I am currently working on will receive a stream of up to 2000 passenger bus locations each minute from GPS android type devices in each bus (that's 33 each second).
I have a database that contains say 20 way points along each route and the start time of each run.
As each GPS location and vehicle ID is received I want to check if each bus is on schedule or not from the database. I then write a value in a 'Punctuality' column of another table against each bus ID, minus if early and plus if late.
That way I can see at any time which bus in every route in progress is on time or not. This is fed to a network of passenger information signs.
I can do each operation needed in only a few milliseconds each but to avoid the disk thrashing itself to pieces, a ram disk would be much better
