Advances in data storage technology have been crucial to the evolution of the modern information age, enabling and accelerating the invention of new information-related applications in consumer entertainment, personal and business computing, enterprise data management, and scientific research. High-capacity, non-volatile, solid-state drives (SSDs) are in the process of revolutionizing this world of data storage. SSDs have a number of advantages compared to conventional disk and tape drives, notably in shock resistance, reduced power consumption, and faster data access. Although currently less competitive in some storage applications with respect to cost per bit, write latency, and product lifetime, continuing advances in SSDs based upon several non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies are setting the stage for a revolution in how computer systems and applications access and manipulate persistent data. Improved flash memories - along with emerging technologies such as magnetic RAM (MRAM), phase-change memories (PCM), spin-torque transfer memories (STTM), resistive RAM (RRAM), and the memristor - are driving designers to rethink how they integrate storage devices into computing systems, how operating systems manage data, and how applications create and process information. Realizing the full potential of NVM technologies is an exciting and important challenge with enormous societal consequences. The proposed workshop is the fifth in the annual series of Non-volatile Memories Workshops (NVMWs) that have been held on the campus of the University of California, San Diego. The primary objective continues to be the development of a "vertical" vision for research on the role of NVM technologies in an ever-increasing number of application scenarios, ranging from data-intensive computing systems to super high-resolution video games. As the capabilities of NVM-based storage rapidly evolve, it is more critical than ever that researchers at each level of the system "stack" be aware of the needs, challenges, and opportunities associated with the other levels. The workshop provides researchers and practitioners the opportunity to gain a broader understanding of what is needed to accelerate the development and adoption of NVM-based storage technologies, and to establish relationships that will provide the basis for further advances. The workshop program includes a half-day tutorial session, two keynote addresses, approximately 32 technical presentations selected by an expert Program Committee, and a poster session. Topics addressed range from new NVM device technologies, data handling techniques, system architectures, and future NVM applications in areas such as distributed storage networks, neuromorphic computing, high-speed data caching, and speech recognition. Open registration for the entire workshop is intended to encourage broad participation from academia, industry, and government. The technical program is structured to provide a unique educational opportunity, particularly for students and researchers who are new to the area.Intellectual Merit:This workshop will address fundamental problems in the science, engineering, and application of high-performance data storage systems based upon non-volatile memories. This includes the study of nanoscale physical phenomena that permit storage of information; the development of coding algorithms for reliable, persistent, and secure data storage; the analysis of system architectures for data-intensive computing; and the conception of new paradigms for non-volatile storage of data in a variety of applications.Broader Impacts:The exchange of knowledge and the generation of novel ideas that result from the workshop will have significant impact on the computing and data storage industries, both vitally important to the national economy. The educational component of the workshop will benefit students and postdoctoral researchers, as well as more senior participants. An archival website will provide a lasting record of the workshop proceedings and a resource for the scientific community and general public.

数据存储技术的进步对现代信息时代的发展至关重要，它使消费者娱乐、个人和商业计算、企业数据管理和科学研究中与信息相关的新应用的发明得以实现并加速。高容量、非易失性固态硬盘（SSD）正在彻底改变这个数据存储世界。 与传统磁盘和磁带驱动器相比，SSD具有许多优势，特别是在抗冲击性、降低功耗和更快的数据访问方面。 尽管当前在一些存储应用中关于每比特成本、写入延迟和产品寿命的竞争力较低，但是基于若干非易失性存储器（NVM）技术的SSD的持续进步正在为计算机系统和应用如何访问和操纵持久性数据的革命奠定基础。 改进的闪存--沿着磁RAM（MRAM）、相变存储器（PCM）、自旋扭矩转移存储器（STTM）、电阻式RAM（RRAM）和忆阻器等新兴技术--促使设计人员重新思考如何将存储设备集成到计算系统中、操作系统如何管理数据以及应用程序如何创建和处理信息。 实现NVM技术的全部潜力是一个令人兴奋的重要挑战，具有巨大的社会影响。 拟议中的研讨会是非易失性存储器研讨会（NVMW）年度系列中的第五次，该研讨会已在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行。 主要目标仍然是发展一个“垂直”的视野，研究NVM技术在越来越多的应用场景中的作用，从数据密集型计算系统到超高分辨率视频游戏。 随着基于NVM的存储功能的快速发展，系统“堆栈”每个级别的研究人员都要了解与其他级别相关的需求，挑战和机遇，这比以往任何时候都更加重要。 研讨会为研究人员和从业人员提供了机会，以更广泛地了解加速基于NVM的存储技术的开发和采用所需的内容，并建立关系，为进一步发展奠定基础。 研讨会计划包括半天的辅导会议，两个主题演讲，由专家计划委员会选择的大约32个技术演示，以及海报会议。 讨论的主题包括新的NVM设备技术、数据处理技术、系统架构以及未来NVM在分布式存储网络、神经形态计算、高速数据缓存和语音识别等领域的应用。 整个研讨会的开放注册旨在鼓励学术界，工业界和政府的广泛参与。 该技术计划的结构是为了提供一个独特的教育机会，特别是谁是新的学生和研究人员的area.Intellectual优点：这个研讨会将解决在科学，工程和基于非易失性存储器的高性能数据存储系统的应用的基本问题。 这包括研究允许存储信息的纳米级物理现象;开发可靠、持久和安全数据存储的编码算法;分析数据密集型计算的系统架构;以及在各种应用中构思非易失性数据存储的新范例。研讨会产生的知识交流和新想法将对计算和数据存储产生重大影响这两个行业对国民经济都至关重要。 讲习班的教育部分将使学生和博士后研究人员以及更资深的参与者受益。 一个档案网站将提供研讨会议事情况的永久记录，并为科学界和公众提供一种资源。
