First Steps In The Program Model For Persistent Memory
In the previous article, we left off with the basic storage model having its objects first existing as changed in the processor’s cache, then being aged into volatile DRAM memory, often with changes first logged synchronously into I/O-based persistent storage, and later with the object’s changes proper later copied from volatile memory into persistent storage. …

Programming For Persistent Memory Takes Persistence
Some techies are capable of writing programs in assembler, but all will agree that they are very glad that they don’t need to. …

Learning From Rackspace About Bare Metal Clouds
While most public cloud infrastructure has full-on server virtualization to dice and slice the compute, memory, and I/O capacity of iron so companies can share it, not every workload runs well atop virtual machines and in those cases, a bare metal cloud is a better place to be. …

The Next Wave Of All-Flash Arrays Will Run Lean
If disk drives were not so inexpensive and capacious, companies would have stopped using them for persistent storage as soon as flash drives became reliable enough for an enterprise duty cycle. …

Steps Toward Programmability for Non-Volatile Memory
Among the trends that we have been tracking over the course of the year, few others, outside of key processor developments, have attracted more attention than what is happening in the non-volatile memory space. …

Taking The HPC Pulse With Hewlett Packard Enterprise
The hardware part of the high performance computing market is somewhere around $10 billion or so, depending on how you want to count it and who you want to ask, and Bill Mannel, vice president and general manager of a combined HPC and Big Data group within the newly constituted Hewlett Packard Enterprise half of the former Hewlett-Packard, reckons that his employer has north of a third of the business. …
