One Line Summary

discussion on how persistent memory-aware applications will specify/query NUMA locality

Abstract

It is well understood that application processes benefit from being placed close to their memory on systems with a Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architecture. There is also benefit (albeit smaller) to locating the application and its resident set on the same NUMA node as storage controllers used for accessing data. This latter point becomes much more important with technology such as persistent memory. The goals of this session include:
- discuss the basic requirements for applications using persistent memory on NUMA systems
- determine the granularity of data locality
- discuss what APIs, new or existing, would be necessary to support persistent memory.
