ChakrabartiHP Laboratories HPL-2015-59non-volatile memory; locks; transactions; consistency; semanticsIt is expected that DRAM memory will be augmented, and eventually replaced, by one of several up-and-coming memory technologies, all of which are non-volatile, in that they retain their contents without power. This allows primary memory to be used as a fast disk replacement. It also enab
