How Will Persistent Memory Change Software Design?
Summary
Maciej Maciejewski talks about the primary differences between persistent memory, storage devices, and regular DRAM. He presents how Persistent Memory is exposed to the OS with ACPI 6.0 extensions, and describes the resulting changes made upstream to the Linux kernel to provide direct access. He also describes an open source library, known as the NVM Library.
