PLATFORM STORAGE HIERARCHY WITH NON-VOLATILE RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY HAVING CONFIGURABLE PARTITIONS

摘要

A non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is used in a computer system to perform multiple roles in a platform storage hierarchy. The NVRAM is byte-addressable by the processor and can be configured into one or more partitions, with each partition implementing a different tier of the platform storage hierarchy. The NVRAM can be used as mass storage that can be accessed without a storage driver.
