How to Compute in Persistent Memory Systems

Overview

Next generation computer systems will rely on emerging memory technologies, such as Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), to address the high computational demands of modern applications and provide persistence. Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is solid-state byte-addressable memory which achieves better performance and higher density than the Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) on which current computers rely on.   See more...
