Fast and failure-consistent updates of application data in non-volatile main memory file system
Jiaxin Ou, Jiwu Shu · 2016
Modern applications have their own update protocols to remain failure consistency. However, these protocols are implemented without a comprehensive understanding of the persistence properties of the underlying file systems and typically optimized for disk-based storage. As a result, they are complex, error-prone, and exhibit disappointing performance on emerging fast non-volatile memories (NVMs) due to excessive data copies.
