Storage class memory: technology, systems and applications

Published:29 June 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

Storage Class Memory (SCM) is the term used to describe a new class of solid-state, nonvolatile memory technologies. There are several (≥10) such technologies currently under active research and development that are vying to become the SCM of choice. As a group, their performance is nearer memory than storage while their cost is nearer storage than memory. In the systems designer's eye, these performance and cost characteristics blur the historic distinction between memory and storage. Exploiting SCM will require significant changes in the design of memory and storage systems. These changes at the system level will force or enable changes at the application level as well as opening up new application opportunities.

In this talk we will discuss several of today's leading SCM technologies, discuss their potential impact on the design of memory and storage systems, consider the changes that might be needed to existing applications and explore some of the potential opportunities for future applications.
