Thanks Zoltan,
I try it on Kernel Linux 2.6.18 ( RedHat 5.2) 64 bits, it works.
I add that ulimit "memlock" (-l) had to be increased for the Postgres runner, up to the size of the shared memory required by Postgres.

Hi,

We think of using Linux HugePages to isolate shared memory used by Postgres, hoping that we got more performance.
I see some souce code samples for doing that, but I do not see any information
about compatibility : Postgres 7.x, 8.x, 9.x
about recommandations
Thanks by advance.

if you are using a kernel older than 2.6.38, you can use this with LD_PRELOAD:

With 2.6.38 and up, HugePages are used automatically in giant allocations.
