Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for persistent memory management. Persistent memory management may include replicating a persistent data structure in volatile memory buffers of at least two non-volatile storage devices. Persistent memory management may include preserving a snapshot copy of data in association with completion of a barrier operation for the data. Persistent memory management may include determining which interface of a plurality of supported interfaces is to be used to flush data from a processor complex.
