Samir Raizada (Verizon Media) Driving Technology adoption – Persistent Memory: Opportunities, Approaches and Learnings This talk is about driving technology in general and persistent memory in particular. I will cover the opportunities persistent memory presents, how we drove the efforts to adopt the technology, how we challenged our architects and developers to come up with…
Charles Fan (MemVerge) Software-defined Memory Service Combining Persistent Memory and DRAM While persistent memory has higher density and lower cost than DRAM, it is also slower than DRAM. The byte-addressable persistence can not be fully exploited without application change. These are a few of the problems for applications to adopt persistent memory. MemVerge developed a…
William Wang (Arm Research) Software Implications of Persistent Memory and Architectural Support This presentation will talk about software implications of persistent memory, highlighting two software implications/problems: 1) the read-of-not-yet-persisted-write problem for concurrent programs, and the architectural proposal to get that fixed with persistent atomics, and 2) the implications of persistent memory on sequential programs running…
Jia Shi (Oracle) Oracle Exadata – How did we harness the power of PMEM? Persistent memory accomplishes near-DRAM performance, yet ensures data persistence across power failures. Oracle Exadata X8M was launched in late 2019, delivering the first PMEM accelerator for database in industry. Exadata X8M combines the power of PMEM and RoCE to deliver a…
Dieter Kasper (Fujitsu) Persistent Memory as a Game Changer for a Data-Centric World Since four decades all Operating System and Application Development is built on the foundation of the Memory – Disk relationship. The introduction of persistent memory in the standard hardware will lead to a disruptive change in application design as we can only…
Doug Hood (Oracle) The reality of using Intel Optane persistent memory with a SQL In-Memory Database Everybody wants faster access to their data, but DRAM is expensive and limited in size. Persistent memory promises larger capacity at a cheaper price point, but with a higher latency than DRAM. This talk investigates how Intel Optane persistent…
