Abstract

A method of supporting persistence of a computing device is provided. The computing device performs a stop procedure upon power failure. In the stop procedure, the computing device schedules out a running process task, stores a state of the process task to a process control block of a memory module including a non-volatile memory, flushes a cache for the processor, and flushes a pending memory request.
