Reliability for Fast, Persistent Memory Applications

这项研究是由两种技术趋势推动的，即持久内存和内存计算。持久内存技术的独特之处在于它的访问方式与传统的DRAM类似，但它提供了像Flash一样的持久存储。包括英特尔和美光在内的几家制造商已经宣布，他们计划在2017年推出低成本、高性能的持久内存产品。在内存计算中，大型数据集几乎全部保存在DRAM中以进行快速处理，这种计算受到相对便宜的DRAM的驱动。它支持构建快速应用程序，如键值存储和内存数据库。今天，这些内存应用程序构成了现代web基础设施的核心，使web站点能够以低延迟和高吞吐量为请求提供服务。

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.
