Book Description

This book describes the Persistent Memory technology and why it is exciting the industry. It covers the operating system and hardware requirements as well as how to create development environments using emulated or real persistent memory hardware.

It explains fundamental concepts; provides an introduction to persistent memory programming APIs for C, C++, JavaScript, and other languages; discusses RMDA with persistent memory; reviews security features; and presents many examples. Source code and examples that you can run on your own systems are included.

Beginning and experienced programmers will use this comprehensive guide to persistent memory programming. You will understand how persistent memory brings together several new software/hardware requirements, and offers great promise for better performance and faster application startup times - a huge leap forward in byte-addressable capacity compared with current DRAM offerings.

This revolutionary new technology gives applications significant performance and capacity improvements over existing technologies. It requires a new way of thinking and developing, which makes this highly disruptive to the IT/computing industry. The full spectrum of industry sectors that will benefit from this technology include, but are not limited to, in-memory and traditional databases, AI, analytics, HPC, virtualization, and big data.

• Steve Scargall is a persistent memory software/cloud architect within Intel's Data Center Group (DCG). With more than 18 years of enterprise application and filesystem IO performance analysis, Steve now works on the exciting and disruptive bleeding edge of persistent memory application design solutions.

• What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory

  This document explains the structure of memory subsystems in use on modern commodity hardware, illustrating why CPU caches were developed, how they work, and what programs should do to achieve optimal performance by utilizing them.

• How Computers Work: Processor and Main Memory, 2nd Edition

  This book starts out very simple and gets more complex as it goes along, but everything is explained. The processor and memory are mainly covered. It explains in great detail the operation of a simple but functional computer.

• Pointers and Memory (Nick Parlante, et al.)

  This is an introduction to programming with pointers and memory in C, C++ and other languages. Explains how pointers and memory work and how to use them -- from the basic concepts through all the major programming techniques.

• The Java Garbage Collection Mini-Book (Charles Humble)

  This book provides a concise, accessible guide for Java architects and senior developers who want to understand what garbage collection is, how it works, and how it impacts the execution of their programs.

• Memory Management: Algorithms and Implementations in C/C++

  This book presents several concrete implementations of garbage collection and explicit memory management algorithms. Find out how memory is managed at the hardware level by the processor.
