## Resources

* [Constantly updated thread on developments in memory by Ogawa on twitter](https://twitter.com/ogawa_tter/status/1341217903236923392)
* [SSD ELI5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f2xOxRGKqk)
* [TheMemoryGuy](https://thememoryguy.com/) and [TheSSDGuy](https://github.com/rajesh-s/computer-engineering-resources/blob/master/area_specific/thessdguy.com)
* [Visualizations for cache and coherence](https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Jeremy.Jones/VivioJS/)

### Projects

* [HSE: Heterogeneous-Memory Storage Engine](https://github.com/hse-project/hse) - HSE is an embeddable key-value store designed for SSDs based on NAND flash or persistent memory. HSE optimizes performance and endurance by orchestrating data placement across DRAM and multiple classes of SSDs or other solid-state storage.

## Persistent/Non Volatile Memory

### Learning resources

* [Course lectures by Prof. Michael Swift on PMEM](https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~swift/classes/cs839-fa21/wiki/pmwiki.php)
* [Optane DCPMM](https://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/architecture-and-technology/optane-dc-persistent-memory.html) - Intel DC Optane technology
* [Persistent Memory Programming book](https://pmem.io/)
* [Overview of DCPMM presented by Arafa, Intel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BShO6h8Lc1s)
* [NVDIMM Primer](https://thessdguy.com/an-nvdimm-primer-part-1-of-2/)
* [Emerging standalone NVM](https://community.arm.com/developer/research/b/articles/posts/emerging-standalone-nvm-moving-beyond-the-hype?utm_source=linkedin\&utm_medium=social\&utm_campaign=2019_na_na_na-\&utm_term=na\&utm_content=blog)
* [Quick overview of ordering](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdTya_98tcA)

### Projects/Frameworks

* [PMDK](https://pmem.io/pmdk/) - Collection of libraries and tools. Tuned and validated on both Linux and Windows, the libraries build on the DAX feature of those operating systems (short for Direct Access) which allows applications to access persistent memory as memory-mapped files, as described in the SNIA NVM Programming Model.

## Research avenues

* [SYSTOR](https://www.systor.org/2021/) - ACM Storage and Systems Conference

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://rajesh-s.gitbook.io/comparchsys/area_specific/memory.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
