Abstract
A method includes deploying non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) in a memory arrangement coupled to a CPU core of a computing device via a memory bus. The method further includes configuring the CPU core to conduct NVRAM read operations directly over the memory bus, and providing an I/O logic device to process write instructions initiated by the CPU core as a Direct Memory Access (DMA) write operation on the NVRAM.
