Abstract

The class of memory technologies with best features from memory and storage are called storage-class memory or SCM. In the hybrid usage model of SCM, it is physically attached to the memory bus just like DRAM but it is logically shown as a block device just like a storage. In this paper, we question the effectiveness of the page cache in the hybrid model, because SCM has the read and write performance comparable to DRAM. Therefore, I implemented a way to bypass the page cache in the Linux kernel, and show the effectiveness the page cache by thorough experiments with various file I/O benchmarks.
