The topic of persistent memory is back to the future for those of us old enough to have used core memory, but today’s persistent memory boasts densities, speeds, latencies, and capacities that are well beyond the scope even of science fiction back in the core-memory era.

However, with extreme densities, speeds, latencies, and capacities come interesting technical challenges. This microconference will therefore cover the “struct page” problem, performance hotspots in both kernel and userspace I/O fastpaths, managing access mechanisms such as DAX, providing atomic sector updates, and more.

For more information on this topic, see the wiki page.

We hope to see you there!
