I had a dream … of a non-volatile main memory

Abstract

Since four decades all Operating System and Application Development is built on the foundation of the Memory – Disk relationship. The introduction of persistent memory in the standard hardware will lead to a disruptive change in application design as we can only see once in an IT career. This presentation introduces the technology and shows methods how we exploit its possibilities so that the applications benefit the most. Furthermore, challenges that have yet to be solved will be addressed. Finally, an outlook is given on what future developments and use-cases are conceivable.
