Talk title: Compiler and architectural support for NVM Crash Consistency

Abstract:

In this talk, I'll present two crash consistency works, i.e., TCCP and iDO, for systems backed with nonvolatile memory (NVM). TCCP is a hardware approach and works for nonvolatile processors of energy-harvesting systems where NVM serves as the main memory with no cache hierarchy. On the other hand, iDO is a compiler-directed approach and targets general purpose processors with deep cache hierarchy and hybrid of DRAM and NVM. I will demonstrate how these hardware and software approaches guarantee crash consistency without two much performance overhead to survive on errors such as power failures.
