Abstract
The disclosed technology provides for off-loading dirty data from a volatile cache memory to multiple non-volatile memory devices responsive to detection of a power failure. The arrangement of the dirty data is describable by a cache image, which is reconstructed within the volatile memory from the non-volatile memory devices responsive to detection of power restoration following the power failure.
