Introduction
This chapter discusses how applications that require a large quantity of volatile memory can leverage high-capacity persistent memory as a complementary solution to dynamic random-access memory (DRAM).
Applications that work with large data sets, like in-memory databases, caching systems, and scientific simulations, are often limited by the amount of volatile memory capacity available in the system or the cost of the DRAM required to load a complete data set. Persistent memory provides a high capacity memory tier to solve these memory-hungry application ...
