How 'Shared Memory' Linux memory management mechanism correlates with 'HugePages Memory' Linux memor

edited Dec 16, 2018 4:02AM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

I saw a lot of information about both these Linux system memory management mechanisms. But I don't understand till now how do they relate between themselves.

Is HugePages one Linux system memory management mechanism and Shared Memory second Linux system memory management mechanism?

Or one of them are part of another and encapsulated in it?
