This is a companion paper to the " persistent problem " piece that we looked at earlier this week, going a little deeper into the object pointer representation choices and the mapping of a virtual object space into physical address spaces. Both abstractions must be implemented in a way that is efficient using existing hardware.

Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. and 8.0.32 HammerDB 4.5 Concurrency at 80 VU’s 1.00

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory,) NVM will fundamentally change the way hardware interacts, the way operating systems are designed, and the way applications operate on data. The beauty of persistent memory is that we can use memory layouts for persistent data (with some considerations for volatile caches etc.

Stable media is commonly physical disk storage, but other devices and certain caching facilities qualify as well. Many high-end disk subsystems provide high-speed cache facilities to reduce the latency of read and write operations. This cache is often supported by a battery-powered backup facility.
