LinuxCon+ContainerCon Europe 2016

Byte-addressable Persistent Memory is an emerging technology expected to soon have a dramatic and disruptive impact on software. Usage of persistent memory requires a different approach to data handling within applications. One of the first attempts to tackle this problem is the open source Linux NVM (Non Volatile Memory) Library. This library tries to address the main issues of persistent memory programming, at the same time trying to provide the developer with tools to ease persistent memory testing. During this workshop, the participants will write a simple, volatile program. Then write the same application in the libpmemobj C API and convert it to the C++ API.
