New persistent memory technologies promise to revolutionize the way applications store data. Many aspects of application data access will need to be revisited in order to get full advantage of these technologies. The journey will involve several new types of libraries and ultimately programming language changes. In this session we will use the concepts of the SNIA NVM Programming Model to explore the emerging landscape of persistent memory related software from an application evolution point of view. Learn how applications can navigate the transitions created by persistent memory. Learn how additional software and services can help. Slides are available in the show notes at www.snia.org/podcasts.
