Four things I wish I'd known sooner about persistent memory
On the surface, adapting software to use persistent memory seems obvious. After all, persistent memory is simply fast memory that maintains state when the power goes out, like an SSD. But unlike SSDs, persistent memory challenges long-held ideas and conventions about how software works. Rob Dickinson outlines four key ideas that will help focus your persistent memory strategy.

On the surface, adapting software to use persistent memory seems obvious. After all, persistent memory is simply fast memory that maintains state when the power goes out, like an SSD. But unlike SSDs, persistent memory challenges long-held ideas and conventions about how software works. While the dust has yet to settle, some basic guidelines about how to best enable software to use persistent memory have become clear. Drawing on his experience enabling software for persistent memory over the last year, Rob Dickinson outlines four key ideas that will help focus your persistent memory strategy.
