A method of writing to a tiered memory system of a computing device, the tiered memory system including volatile memory and persistent memory (PMEM), includes the steps of: in response to a first write request including first data to write to a first page of the tiered memory system, copying contents of the first page to a second page located in the PMEM; after copying the contents of the first page to the second page, writing the first data to the second page; and after writing the first data to the second page, updating a first mapping of the tiered memory system to reference the second page instead of the first page.

Crash-safe tiered memory system

In the embodiment a determination is made, for one or more applications being executed by the computing system, of an amount of the first or second memory being used by the one or more applications. Based on the determination, a portion of the memory resources of the third memory are configured to function with the first or second memory when it is determined that the amount of the first or second memory being used by the one or more applications is not sufficient for the memory needs of the one or more applications and a portion of the memory resources of the third memory are removed from functioning with the first or second memory when it is determined that the amount of the first or second memory being used by the one or more applications is more than is needed for the memory needs of the one or more applications.
