In which tasks does a web server need to load something into RAM before processing a request?

Question

Computer networks

Let me give you an example: in offices that deal with speech (speech / gender recognition, segmentation, etc.), they usually have a self-written web server. To put it simply, when such a web server receives a request for speech recognition with attached audio data, it must first load the so-called model (language model) into its RAM (40-60 GB is considered quite normal, sometimes the size of such a model exceeds 100 GB) , after which the speech recognition process begins. That is, the input data for processing an incoming request is not only the data of this request, but also some other data that is stored on some external medium. What other examples of similar tasks exist, where in order to process an incoming request, some more data is needed that needs to be loaded? As many examples as possible are needed.

Answer 1

In all tasks. Any program in the course of its work loads any data into RAM. Also, any server response to a request will cause data to be loaded into RAM for further sending data over the network.
