    Abstract: A processing device features a processing unit, a memory management system, and persistent memory in a persistent memory domain. The processing device provides an enhanced write-back (WB-E) memory space for an application running on the processing unit. The memory management system maps the WB-E memory space to the persistent memory. The application creates WB-E data by executing an instruction to store data to an address in the WB-E memory space. The WB-E data is automatically stored in a cache associated with the processing unit in response to creation of the WB-E data by the application. In response to execution of a commit instruction by the application after the application has created WB-E data for multiple memory addresses, the memory management system automatically ensures that all of the WB-E data for the application has been saved to the persistent memory domain. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract translation: 处理设备具有处理单元,存储器管理系统和持久存储器域中的持久存储器。 处理设备为在处理单元上运行的应用提供增强的回写(WB-E)存储器空间。 存储器管理系统将WB-E存储器空间映射到持久存储器。 应用程序通过执行将数据存储到WB-E存储空间中的地址的指令来创建WB-E数据。 响应于应用程序创建WB-E数据,WB-E数据自动存储在与处理单元相关联的缓存中。 在应用程序创建了多个内存地址的WB-E数据之后,响应于应用程序执行提交指令,内存管理系统自动确保应用程序的所有WB-E数据都已保存到持久内存域 。 描述和要求保护其他实施例。
