Reliability for Fast, Persistent Memory Applications

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research is driven by two technology trends, persistent memory and in-memory computing. Persistent memory technology is unique in that it is accessed similar to traditional DRAM, but it provides durable storage like Flash. Several manufactures, including Intel and Micron, have announced that they plan to make low cost, high-performance, persistent memory products available in 2017. In-memory computing, in which large data sets are kept almost entirely in DRAM for fast processing, is being driven by the availability of relatively inexpensive DRAM. It enables building fast applications such as key-value stores and in-memory databases. Today, these in-memory applications form the core of the modern web infrastructure, enabling web sites to serve requests with low latency and high throughput.
