Abstract
An information handling system may include a persistent memory module and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The information handling system may be configured to: prior to initialization of an operating system, receive, at a configuration application of the BIOS, configuration information regarding the persistent memory module; in response to the configuration information, allocate a first portion of the persistent memory module to volatile system memory of the information handling system, a second portion of the persistent memory module to non-volatile storage of the information handling system, and a third portion of the persistent memory module to a dynamic memory area; and after initialization of the operating system, execute a memory manager configured to alter sizes of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion, wherein the altering is carried out without performing a reboot of the information handling system.
