Miniasync library provides a framework for the composition and execution of asynchronous tasks in C. To accommodate different user-defined tasks and various types of data that they take in, libminiasync makes use of macros. Using libminiasync for the first time can be challenging. There are multiple …

In the previous article, I wrote about a new upcoming Xeon platform feature, Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA) - a memory-to-memory DMA engine, and what opportunities and challenges it presents. I outlined the approach we are taking in Persistent Memory Development Kit (PMDK) to expose asynchronous …

One of the greatest benefits of Persistent Memory is that it’s directly accessible by the CPU. But that can also be one of its downsides for specific use cases. For example, if you want to use PMem as an ultra-fast storage device with low access latency. PMem as storage impedance mismatch The …
