Abstract

Non-volatile memory (NVM) devices, such as Flash, phase change RAM, spin transfer torque RAM, and resistive RAM, offer several advantages and challenges when compared to conventional memory technologies, such as DRAM and magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs). In this paper, we present a survey of software techniques that have been proposed to exploit the advantages and mitigate the disadvantages of NVMs when used for designing memory systems, and, in particular, secondary storage (e.g., solid state drive) and main memory. We classify these software techniques along several dimensions to highlight their similarities and differences. Given that NVMs are growing in popularity, we believe that this survey will motivate further research in the field of software technology for NVMs.

Composing lifetime enhancing techniques for non-volatile main memories
MEMSYS '17: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Memory Systems

Emerging byte-addressable non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies, such as PCM and ReRAM, offer significant gains in terms of density and power consumption over their volatile counterparts. Their write endurance is, however, orders of magnitude lower ...
Redesign the Memory Allocator for Non-Volatile Main Memory
Special Issue on Hardware and Algorithms for Learning On-a-chip and Special Issue on Alternative Computing Systems

The non-volatile memory (NVM) has the merits of byte-addressability, fast speed, persistency and low power consumption, which make it attractive to be used as main memory. Commonly, user process dynamically acquires memory through memory allocators. ...
A case for small row buffers in non-volatile main memories
ICCD '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE 30th International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD 2012)

DRAM-based main memories have read operations that destroy the read data, and as a result, must buffer large amounts of data on each array access to keep chip costs low. Unfortunately, system-level trends such as increased memory contention in multi-...
