Abstract
In aspects of a backup-power-free cache memory system, a cache controller implements a cache controller manager to provide nonvolatile storage for a computer system, without a backup power source to make the cache memory nonvolatile. Data to be stored in a storage media in the backup-power-free cache memory system is logged in the backup-power-free cache memory system in a circular queue with the tail stored in nonvolatile random access memory and the head of the queue stored in solid-state flash memory.
