What is “Persistent Memory”?
• Non-volatile storage with RAM-like performance
- Low latency/high bandwidth

• Resides on the memory bus
• Terms used to describe the hardware:
- Storage Class Memory (SCM)
- Byte Addressable Storage (BAS)
- Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)
- Persistent Memory (PM)

4

Industry converging on this term

File Systems and Persistent Memory
• PM is a disruptive technology

• Customers want the fastest performance
- System software is in the way!

• Customers want application compatibility
• Conflicting goals

5

Windows* Goals for Persistent Memory
• Support zero-copy access to persistent memory
• Most existing user-mode applications will run without modification
• Provide an option to support 100% backward compatibility
- Does introduce new types of failure modes

• Provide sector granular failure modes for application compatibility

6

Windows* PM Support
• PM support is foundational and Windows* SKU independent
• Support for JEDEC-defined NVDIMM-N devices available in Windows 10
Anniversary Update and Windows Server 2016
- Available for preview in Windows 10 Insider Builds and Windows Server 2016

8

PM Storage Drivers
• New driver model optimized for PM hardware
- SCM Bus Driver
 Enumerates the physical and logical PM devices on the system
 Not part of the IO Path

- SCM Disk Drivers





Driver for logical PM devices
Storage abstraction layer to rest of the OS
Hardware-specific
Windows* uses a native 4K sector size

• Introduces new interfaces
- Expose byte addressable storage functionality
- Supports management of PM hardware
