Early Measurements of Intel’s 3DXPoint Persistent Memory DIMMs
Editors Note: This is the second of two independent posts on the performance of Intel’s new memory technology. For the last ten years, researchers have been anticipating the arrival of commercially available, scalable non-volatile main memory (NVMM) technologies...Using Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory for In-memory Graph Analytics
Intel Optane DC persistent memory modules are like DRAM in form factor and can be configured as volatile main memory, persistent memory or as a combination.
Data management on non-volatile memory
In a recent blog post, Steve Swanson presented three milestones that mark the adoption path of non-volatile memory by applications. The next step in this path is tailoring fundamental protocols and algorithms for non-volatile memory. We illustrate this point using...Server Architecture for the New Age Datacenter
Server architectures have largely been boring. Boring has been good. It has helped applications thrive in a stable H/W ecosystem and innovate at providing business logic. While performance improvements have largely been single thread performance improvements extended to data center class systems, we are beginning to see a new era in Server architecture designs driven by memory technologies, accelerators and fabrics like Gen-Z, CCIX and Open CAPI that glue them.
