Envision VM (part 3), Atoms and Data Storage

General News

Summary

In case of crash or reboot, the worker will take a second or two to reload the entire layer from disk to remember what it was doing. • To avoid paying this cost, the .NET garbage collector works with separate areas of memory, called generations, depending on the age of objects inside them. When a thunk is needed in order to be executed, it is deserialized from the binary representation of the DAG, which is present in the metadata layer. Subsequent thunks then load these identifiers from the metadata layer, and use them to query the scratch space for the atoms that they need. If a data structure needs to support requesting only part of its contents, we instead save it as multiple atoms, which can then be retrieved independently.
