Persistent memory with cache coherent interconnect interface

A method, comprising:

• receiving a load request at a memory device, the load request requesting a data;
• locating the data at an address in at least one of a first area of a volatile storage of the memory or a second area of the volatile storage of the memory device;
• and
• returning the data at the address from the memory device,
• wherein the memory device includes a non-volatile storage, and
• wherein the second area of the volatile storage of the memory device is selectively backed by a power source.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a store request at a memory device, the store request including a first data;
• locating a second data at an address in a first area of a volatile storage of the memory device;
• and
• updating the second data at the address in the first area of the volatile storage of the memory device with the first data to produce a third data,
• wherein the memory device includes a non-volatile storage,
• wherein the first area of the volatile storage of the memory device is selectively backed by a power source configured to provide power to the first area of the volatile storage, and
• wherein the volatile storage of the memory device includes a second area.
