Recently developed non-volatile memory (NVM) devices provide persistency guarantees along with byte-addressable accesses and performance characteristics that are much closer to volatile random-access memory (RAM). However, writing programs that correctly use these devices is challenging, and bugs related to their use can cause permanent data loss in applications. This Dagstuhl Seminar brought together experts in a range of areas related to concurrency and persistent memory to explore and develop formal methods for ensuring the correctness of applications that use persistent memory. Talks and discussions at the seminar highlighted challenges related to correctness criteria for concurrent objects using persistent memory, liveness properties of persistent objects, and how changes in NVM and related technologies should shape the development of formal methods for NVM.
