System and method for recovery of memory transactions

A memory system comprising a persistent memory and a persistent transaction buffer, wherein the memory system is provided for transactional writing of data values into the persistent memory, wherein the memory system is provided for performing a transactional writing step and a transaction recovery step,

• a transactional writing component for performing one or more memory cell writing steps, the memory cell writing steps comprising the sub-steps of
• writing in a transaction buffer as transaction buffer entry the current data value and the corresponding address of the respective memory cell,
• writing a first valid marker for the memory cell in the transaction buffer,
• writing a new data value to the memory cell, and
• a transaction recovery component for performing a transaction recovery step, in case of an abortion of the transactional writing step, for restoring the current data values of the aborted transaction in the persistent memory, the transaction recovery step comprising the sub-step of writing a transaction recovery marker to the transaction buffer indicating the start of the transaction recovery.

A computer program for transactional writing of data into a memory device, comprising instructions for carrying out the steps of the method comprising a transactional writing step and a transaction recovery step,

• the transactional writing step comprising one or more memory cell writing steps, the memory cell writing steps comprising the sub-steps of
• writing in a transaction buffer as transaction buffer entry the current data value and the corresponding address of the respective memory cell,
• writing a first valid marker for the memory cell in the transaction buffer,
• writing a new data value to the memory cell;
• the transaction recovery step being performed in case of an abortion of the transactional writing step and being provided for restoring the current data values of the aborted transaction in the persistent memory, the transaction recovery step comprising the sub-step of:
• writing a transaction recovery marker to the transaction buffer indicating the start of the transaction recovery.
