Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling serial attached Non-Volatile (NV) memory are provided. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a computing system including: in an NV Random Access Memory module (NVRAM) having a non-volatile device, a volatile memory device with data, a NV Controller unit (NVC), and a serial host interface, the method includes: receiving a request for data on the serial host interface and providing the requested data, from the volatile memory device with data, on the serial host interface. The method also includes: detecting a disruptive volatile memory event; copying the data of the volatile memory device to the NV device based on the disruptive volatile memory event; and restoring the data of the volatile memory device from the NV device. In this way, Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) level endurance and speed/latency can be provided while making it NV.
