Abstract:
A computing device may comprise a processor, a volatile memory and a non-volatile storage device. An operating system or firmware of the device may cause one or more pages of the volatile memory to be treated, by applications executing on the computing device, as non-volatile memory pages. A number of pages that may be treated as non-volatile may be determined based on demand for non-volatile storage by at least one application executing on the computing device.
