Detailed Description

This functions control and manage a memory based cache for sion files. Depending on a set of environment variables the cache will work as write-through or as write-back cache. On Unix systems a POSIX shared memory segment will be used, on Blue Gene/P it is persistent memory.

A cache of n MB will store the last n MB of data per task in the cache. If the cache memory is filled, the full cache will be written to disk and the cache will be exhausted.
