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. Therefore any programming abstraction must be low latency and the kernel needs to be kept off the path of persistent data access as much as possible.

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes. Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. General Purpose GPU programming.
