As silicon technology enters sub-20nm nodes, new materials, structures and processes are
being introduced in order to continue with the advantages of dimensional scaling, eg, 3D …

ABSTRACT PCMs are Non-Volatile Memories (NVMs) that store data using phase-change
semiconductors, such as silicon-chalcogenide glass. In addition to increased integration …

The scalability of DRAM faces challenges from increasing power consumption and the
difficulty of building high aspect ratio capacitors. Consequently, emerging memory …

Persistent, user-defined objects present an attractive abstraction for working with non-
volatile program state. However, the slow speed of persistent storage (ie, disk) has restricted …

3DXPoint memory is the first commercially available NVM solution targeting mainstream
computer systems. While 3DXPoint conforms to many assumptions about NVM in previous …

Phase-Change Memory (PCM) technology has received substantial attention recently.
Because PCM is byte-addressable and exhibits access times in the nanosecond range, it …

Emerging byte-addressable, non-volatile memory (NVM) is fundamentally changing the
design principle of transaction logging. It potentially invalidates the need for flush-before …

Emerging non-volatile memory technologies such as phase change memory (PCM) promise
to increase storage system performance by a wide margin relative to both conventional disks …

Phase change memory (PCM) is an emerging memory technology with many attractive
features: it is non-volatile, byte-addressable, 2–4X denser than DRAM, and orders of …

Technical debt is a metaphor introduced by Cunningham to indicate" not quite right code
which we postpone making it right". Examples of technical debt are code smells and bug …
