Abstract

New persistent memory technologies allow IO to be replaced with memory mapped files where the primary operations are load, store, flush and fence instructions executed by CPU’s. This creates a new need for software generate well understood workloads made up of those operations to characterize implementations of persistent memory related functionality. This session describes a proposal for such a workload generator which could play a role for PM solutions similar to IOMeter for IO.

Learning Objectives

Learn how pure load/store workloads can be generated
Learn about parameters that should govern the creation of pure load/store workloads
