 All Things Recoverable

Persistent Memory is Real!

Earlier in 2019, Intel launched the long-anticipated Optane Data Center Persistent Memory Module. This breakthrough represents the convergence of primary and secondary storage media into a single layer in the memory hierarchy that combines the performance benefits of conventional main memory with the durability of secondary storage. Harnessing these performance benefits in multi-core architectures requires a careful rethinking of concurrent data structures and synchronization algorithms.

PODC 2019 Tutorial

My research group delivered a half-day tutorial on persistent memory at PODC 2019. The tutorial included the following presentations:

Publications

My research group and collaborators have published several papers on the topic of recovering from crashes using persistent memory:
