An auto-commit memory is capable of implementing a pre-configured, triggered commit action in response to a failure condition, such as a loss of power, invalid shutdown, fault, or the like. A computing device may access the auto-commit memory using memory access semantics (using a memory mapping mechanism or the like), bypassing system calls typically required in virtual memory operations. Since the auto-commit memory is pre-configured to commit data stored thereon in the event of a failure, users of the auto-commit memory may view these memory semantic operations as being instantly committed. Operations to commit the data are taken out of the write-commit path.
A method for instant-commit, memory semantic operations within a volatile memory address space of a computing device, the method comprising:
An apparatus for instant-commit, memory semantic operations within a volatile memory address space of a computing device, comprising:
A system for instant-commit, memory semantic operations within a volatile memory address space of a computing device, comprising:
