Persistent memory (PM) was once the norm when magnetic core memory was ubiquitous. These days, flash memory as main memory is common in microcontrollers, but volatile DRAM now dominates main memory ...

This article is part of the Technology Insight series, made possible with funding from Intel. For the last two years, we’ve been writing about Intel Optane persistent memory, knowing that scores of ...

In the previous article, we left off with the basic storage model having its objects first existing as changed in the processor’s cache, then being aged into volatile DRAM memory, often with changes ...

Memory and storage have been separate in computers for decades, but that’s changing. Hewlett Packard Enterprise took a step towards merging the two with its new “persistent memory” announced this week ...

While it is possible to reap at least some benefits from persistent memory, for those that are performance focused, the work to establish an edge is getting underway now with many of the OS and larger ...
