Practical Whole-System Persistence
Sudden power outages remain one of the biggest threats to losing data, disrupting systems and causing financial damages. Whole system persistence (WSP) has previously been proposed as a solution to mitigate such threats through the use of non-volatile main memory (NVRAM). However, it missed out on external device state persistence and the NVRAM technology used at the time was expensive and limited with regard to their scalability. Today's NVRAM technologies are both more affordable and offer much higher storage capacities, but are typically slower than DRAM.
