The SNIA NVM Programming model enables applications to consume emerging persistent memory technologies through step-wise evolution to greater and greater value. Starting with an overview of the latest revision of the NVM programming model specification this session summarizes the recent work of the NVM programming TWG in areas of high availability and atomicity. We take an application view of ongoing technical innovation in a persistent memory ecosystem. Learning Objectives Learn what the SNIA NVM programming TWG has been working on.

With multiple types of persistent memory in the market today, and many more potentially coming in the future, defining a way to consistently measure performance can be a challenge.  The SNIA Solid State Storage (S3) Technical Work Group (TWG) has undertaken an effort to define and test persistent memory, both in drive and raw memory format.  The most recent effort is the Performance Test Specification (PTS).  This talk will discuss the test and cover: Test Methodology; platform setup; synthetic and real-world workloads; and reporting format for test results.
