Indexing on Non-Volatile Memory: Techniques, Lessons Learned and Outlook

This book focuses on online transaction processing indexes designed for scalable, byte—addressable non—volatile memory (NVM) and provides a systematic review and summary of the fundamental principles and techniques as well as an outlook on the future of this research area.

In this book, the authors divide the development of NVM indexes into three “eras”— pre—Optane, Optane and post—Optane—based on when the first major scalable NVM device (Optane) became commercially available and when it w...
