(description
"The @dfn{Lightning Memory-Mapped Database} (LMDB) is a high-performance
transactional database. Unlike more complex relational databases, LMDB handles
only key-value pairs (stored as arbitrary byte arrays) and relies on the
underlying operating system for caching and locking, keeping the code small and
simple.
The use of zero-copy memory-mapped files combines the persistence of classic
disk-based databases with high read performance that scales linearly over
multiple cores. The size of each database is limited only by the size of the
virtual address space not physical RAM.")
