What is NearPM: A Near-Data Processing System for Storage-Class Applications about?

Persistent Memory (PM) technologies enable program recovery to a consistent state in a case of failure. To ensure this crash-consistent behavior, programs need to enforce persist ordering by employing mechanisms, such as logging and checkpointing, which introduce additional data movement. The emerging near-data processing (NDP) architec-tures can effectively reduce this data movement overhead. In this work we propose NearPM, a near data processor that supports accelerable primitives in crash consistent programs. Using these primitives NearPM accelerate commonly used crash consistency mechanisms logging, checkpointing, and shadow-paging. NearPM further reduces the synchronization overheads between the NDP and the CPU to guarantee persistent ordering by moving ordering handling near memory. We ensures a correct persist ordering between CPU and NDP devices, as well as among multiple NDP devices with Partitioned Persist Ordering (PPO). We prototype NearPM on an FPGA platform.1 NearPM executes data-intensive operations in crash consistency mechanisms with correct ordering guarantees while the rest of the program runs on the CPU. We evaluate nine PM workloads, where each work load suppor
