Random access memory (ram)-based computer systems, devices, and methods

A computer-implemented method for writing data onto a random access memory of a computer system, the method comprising:

• intercepting, by the computer system, a request to write data onto a storage device from a host operating on the computer system;
• receiving, by the computer system, the data of the request to write data onto the storage device from the host operating on the computer system;
• dividing, by the computer system, the data into a plurality of blocks;
• generating, by the computer system, a plurality of bit markers corresponding to the plurality of blocks, wherein each of the plurality of bit markers are smaller in data size compared to each of the corresponding plurality of blocks;
• determining, by the computer system, whether a bit marker of the plurality of bit markers is pre-stored on a random access memory storage of the computer system;
• updating, by the computer system, metadata of the bit marker if the bit marker is determined to be pre-stored on the random access memory storage;
• storing, by the computer system, the bit marker and a corresponding block in the random access memory storage if the bit marker is determined not to be pre-stored on the random access memory storage;
• and
• generating, by the computer system, a pointer comprising location data of where the corresponding block is stored in the random access memory storage,
• wherein the computer system comprises the processor, the random access memory storage, and the storage device,
• wherein the storage device comprises a hard disk drive or a solid state drive, and
• wherein the storage device is used by the computer system only to store back-up data of data stored in the random access memory storage.

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• a random access memory storage;
• a storage device, wherein the storage device is a hard disk drive or a solid state drive;
• the processor electrically connected to the random access memory storage and the storage device;
• the processor configured to primarily store data in the random access memory storage using a plurality of bit markers stored in the random access memory storage;
• the processor configured to process data by only reading and writing data from and to the random access memory storage;
• the processor configured to only copy data from the random access memory storage to store as a backup in the storage device,
• the plurality of bit markers configured to enable storage of more data in the random access memory storage than storage of data in the random access memory storage without the use of the plurality of bit markers.
