Building high performance applications with .Net has just gotten easier. Persistore provides cutting edge technology which enables managed code to perform both high performance interprocess communication and data persistence, often the slowest part of any design.

Persistore enables you to build multiprocess applications that can communicate using shared memory and create huge fast in-memory data repositories. Morantex have integrated high speed native Windows features with a set of advanced managed .Net components to bring you the ultimate in cutting edge .Net performance.

What Persistore Offers

Data Persistence

By leveraging our high performance shared memory management kernel API, Persistore makes it straightforward for your manahed code to persist objects, variables, collections or arrays with outstanding performance. Persistence is available in several modes offering speed/flexibility tradeoffs. Rich indexing features allow you to access and update data rapidly, even with large volumes. Our advanced technology is able to read/write managed items at very high speed, far in excess of what is possible using ordinary reflection or serialization.

Express Data Access

Morantex have developed leading edge technology that we call EDA enabling managed code to access and update persisted data in real-time. This enables your code to directly modify your data in-place. Developers can now easily write critical code that performs updates in the hundreds of thousands per second range on just a single core.

Interprocess Communication

Because Persistore leverages shared/mapped memory we make it easy for you to enjoy all the benefits that this provides. One of the most important of these is high speed IPC. Persistore provides a concept termed the Mapped Procedure Call - MPC that combines fast windows thread interrupt capabilities with shared memory message passing. This feature is avilable in two forms intra-process or inter-process, both of which offer outstanding performance. Applications can also share arbitrary structures using the shared variable support. These features offers a fast, flexible and straightforwad way to take full advantage of Windows shared memory. 

Structured Storage

Persistore implements its own structured hierarchical storage system, designed from the ground up for persisting, accessing and updating managed data in secondary in-memory storage; We call this a Datapool. A Datapool is a relocatable mapped memory block, multiple processes may load it into their address space with a single method call and 32-bit and 64-bit applications can do so simultaneously. A Datapool support directories which like folders on a disk volume, facilitate hierarchical organisatiom of information. The Datapool is designed to store structs, classes, streams, indices, arrays, variables, collections and more all from managed code and all with outstanding performance.

Type Persistence

When your application persists data, Persistore automatically persists all associated type information too. This enables other applications, tools and utilities to subsequently access your data without any need to explicitly locate or load the persisted type's defining assembly DLLs. This feature means that a datapool is fully self describing and forms the basis for our networked LINQ support. Types are persisted by persisting the defining assemblies using the SharedStream class.

Client/Server

Persistore provides high performance for applications, services and so on, that are executing on the same machine, this is the basis of real-time shared memory systems. However networked client applications can also access your persisted data by leveraging our Memory Accelerated Query Support - MAQS. This technology leverages the type persistence features and combines it with proprietary high speed serialization and our Persistent Query technology to enable remote client applications to execute user-written LINQ queries and retreive the result sequence over the network.

Persistent Queries

Persistore provides a unique and powerful feature that allows users to create and run custom LINQ queries using a special IDE called the MAQS Query Workbench. This tool provides a syntax highlighting editor and additional services for writing and testing LINQ queries against persisted data in a datapool. This feature allows both user defined and anonymous types to be created by queries. The result type is itself persisted into the datapool as is the compiled query assembly. Our network server support then allows remote clients to invoke these persistent queries by name and obtain the results, query parameters are fully supported.
