Persistent Memory track

Friday, August 21, 2015 from 1:30 – 4:00pm
Metropolitan A
 

The Linux Plumbers 2015 Persistent Memory track focuses on the kernel and userspace plumbing for byte-addressable (direct cpu load/store) persistent memory. ACPI 6.0, released earlier this year, formalizes a mechanism for platform firmware to advertise peristent memory (NVDIMM) resources to an operating system. With NVDIMM resources poised to become a standard platform feature this track discusses the challenges and opportunities for Linux plumbing to leverage this new capability.
