NVM Programming Technical Work Group

The SNIA Non Volatile Memory (NVM) Programming Technical Work Group (TWG) delivers specifications describing the behavior of a common set of software interfaces that provide access to non-volatile memory (NVM). The NVM Programming TWG goal is to encourage a common ecosystem for NVM-enabled software without limiting the ability to innovate.

The NVM Programming TWG plans two initial specifications focused on behavioral descriptions to enable a common semantic implementation across operating systems (O/S) and applications. The specifications will describe relationships between O/S extensions to underlying standards (such as those from T10 and NVM Express) as well as functionality common to NVM vendors.

The functionality described in the TWG’s specifications enable operating systems to enable development of NVM-aware software across a broad range of NVM hardware

Work will continue beyond the initial specifications development to incorporate new NVM functionality and to develop additional specifications as the market matures.

Participants in the NVM Programming TWG include architects and developers for NVM aware operating system components and applications.

If your company is a member of the SNIA, any employee of your company is eligible to participate in the NVM Programming TWG.  Membership in the SNIA Solid State Storage Initiative is encouraged.   New members are welcome to join the SNIA and the NVM Programming TWG.
