Abstract
The same storage may be utilized to store both persistent and dynamic data in a processor-based system. In some embodiments, the storage may be a phase change memory. When data is to be stored, the memory manager determines whether the data is persistent. If the data is persistent it is managed in a fragmented fashion. Non-persistent or dynamic data is managed as a heap.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- determining whether data to be stored is persistent data;
- if the data to be stored is persistent data, storing the data in fragmented fashion;
- and
- if the data to be stored is not persistent data, managing the data as a heap.
1 more element
A processor-based system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage to store both persistent and non-persistent data in the same storage.
An article comprising a medium storing instructions that, if executed, enable a processor-based system to perform the steps of:
- determining whether data to be stored is persistent data;
- if the data to be stored is persistent data, storing the data in fragmented fashion;
- and
- if the data to be stored is non-persistent data, managing the data as a heap.
