| Abstract | With the proliferation of software and hardware support for persistent memory (PM) like PCM and NV-DIMM, we envision that PM will soon become a standard component of commodity cloud, especially for those applications demanding high performance and low latency. Yet, current virtualization software lacks support to efficiently virtualize and manage PM to improve cost-effectiveness, performance, and endurance. In this paper, we make the first case study on extending commodity hypervisors to virtualize PM. We explore design spaces to abstract PM, including load/store accessible guest-physical memory and a block device. We design and implement a system, namely VPM, which provides both full-virtualization as well as a para-virtualization interface that provide persistence hints to the hypervisor. By leveraging the fact that PM has similar characteristics with DRAM except for persistence, VPM supports transparent data migration by leveraging the two-dimensional paging (e.g., EPT) to adjust the mapping between guest PM to host physical memory (DRAM or PM). Finally, VPM provides efficient crash recovery by properly bookkeeping guest PM's states as well as key hypervisor-based states into PM in an epoch-based consistency approach. Experimental results with VPM implemented on KVM and Linux using simulated PCM and NVDIMM show that VPM achieves a proportional consolidation of PM with graceful degradation of performance. Our para-virtualized interface further improves the consolidation ratio with less overhead for some workloads. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
