Abstract
Techniques are provided for implementing write ordering for persistent memory. A set of actions are identified for commitment to persistent memory of a node for executing an operation upon the persistent memory. An episode is created to comprise a first subset of actions of the set of actions that can be committed to the persistent memory in any order with respect to one another such that a consistent state of the persistent memory can be reconstructed in the event of a crash of the node during execution of the operation. The first subset of actions within the episode are committed to the persistent memory and further execution of the operation is blocked until the episode completes.
