Abstract
One embodiment can provide an apparatus. The apparatus can include a persistent flush (PF) cache and a PF-tracking logic coupled to the PF cache. The PF-tracking logic is to: in response to receiving, from a media controller, an acknowledgment to a write request, determine whether the PF cache includes an entry corresponding to the media controller; in response to the PF cache not including the entry corresponding to the media controller, allocate an entry in the PF cache for the media controller; in response to receiving a persistence checkpoint, identify a media controller from a plurality of media controllers based on entries stored in the PF cache; issue a persistent flush request to the identified media controller to persist write requests received by the identified media controller; and remove an entry corresponding to the identified media controller from the PF cache subsequent to issuing the persistent flush request.
