Abstract
A method for allocating memory in a computing device having a non-volatile main memory is described. The method comprises receiving, by a memory allocator, a request for non-volatile memory allocation of an object from a program executing on the computing device, the request comprising a requested memory size and registration data from the program. The method comprises finding an available address of one of a plurality of portions of a page of the non-volatile memory and searching an active page table in the non-volatile main memory to find the page and if the page is not found in the active page table: inserting the page into the active page table; and waiting for a memory write for inserting the page into the active page table to complete.
