MemHC is a high performance multithreaded event-based key/value cache store, modified based on Memcached. MemHC use Hill-Cache cache replacement policy to help the system achieve better hit rate results.
- libevent - https://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ (libevent-dev)
- libseccomp (optional, experimental, linux) - enables process restrictions for better security. Tested only on x86-64 architectures.
- openssl (optional) - enables TLS support. need relatively up to date version. pkg-config is needed to find openssl dependencies (such as -lz).
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/path/to/memhc
make -j$(nproc) && make install
Be warned that the -k (mlockall) option to memcached might be dangerous when using a large cache. Just make sure the memcached machines don't swap. memcached does non-blocking network I/O, but not disk. (it should never go to disk, or you've lost the whole point of it)
See https://build.memcached.org/ for multi-platform regression testing status.
