Abstract

In today's computing environment, novel memory devices with non-volatile characteristics are increasing in practicality when used as the main memory, due to the persistence with no additional battery that significantly enhances usability of personal devices.In our research, we have built a persistent operating system using non-volatile main memory. This paper describes our strategy in detail on how atomicity of execution is maintained for each device driver method so that the state of peripheral devices can also recovered consistently. The method was implemented on the Linux kernel using a UART device driver. We have confirmed correct system recovery through our experiments.

Redesign the Memory Allocator for Non-Volatile Main Memory
Special Issue on Hardware and Algorithms for Learning On-a-chip and Special Issue on Alternative Computing Systems

The non-volatile memory (NVM) has the merits of byte-addressability, fast speed, persistency and low power consumption, which make it attractive to be used as main memory. Commonly, user process dynamically acquires memory through memory allocators. ...
