Persistent Memory Hardware
From PEL Wiki
This is a list of papers that talk about hardware support for persistent memory.
[edit]
eNVy: A Non-Volatile, Main Memory Storage System (Wu, Zwaenepoel, 1994)
- They use large flash memory to replace disk drives.
- For backwards compatibility they use a RAM Disk.
- Uses word size reads and writes to avoid using files and data formatting.
- Uses battery-backed up SRAM as a FIFO Write Buffer, to avoid long latency writes, reduce number of writes to flash, and make it word writable.
- Results are simulated.
- Complex cleaning algorithms are used to recover used flash segments.

Memories of the future (Wickett, 2002)
- Large non-volatile memories might be available soon.
