Abstract

Mechanisms to explicitly manage data persistence for non-volatile main memories are fundamental for the correctness and performance of modern systems. So far, however, most solutions are primarily based on software techniques. In this paper, we design a persistence layer on hardware, to support correct handling of persistent lock-free data structures. By exploiting cache-coherence messages, persistence can be transparently managed by the hardware, with minimal user intervention. We have experimented with a partial design on a Soft-CPU running on an FPGA to explore the idea, and plan to further extend it into a real hardware implementation.
