The recent rise of byte-addressable non-volatile memory technologies is blurring the
dichotomy between memory and storage. In particular, they allow programmers to have …

This paper presents PPA (Persistent Processor Architecture), simple microarchitectural
support for lightweight yet performant whole-system persistence. PPA offers fully transparent …

Persistency models define the persist-order that controls the order in which stores update
persistent memory (PM). As with memory consistency, the relaxed persistency models …

Non-volatile memory (NVM) opens up new opportunities to resolve scaling restrictions of
main memory, yet it is still hindered by the write disturbance (WD) problem. The WD problem …

This paper investigates whole-system persistence (WSP) that ensures hassle-free crash
consistency for all programs while simultaneously leveraging both advantages of the non …

Intermittent systems on energy-harvesting devices have to frequently back up data because
of an unreliable energy supply to make forward progress. These devices come with non …

Persistent memory enables a new class of applications that have persistent in-memory data
structures. Recoverability of these applications imposes constraints on the ordering of writes …

Crash consistency overhead is a long-standing barrier to the adoption of byte-addressable
persistent memory in practice. Despite continuous progress, persistent transactions for crash …

Reducing write data to encrypted Non-Volatile Main Memory (NVMM) can directly improve
NVMM's endurance, performance, and energy efficiency. However, existing works that …

Secure memory is a highly desirable property to prevent memory corruption-based attacks.
The emergence of nonvolatile, storage class memory (SCM) devices presents new …
