Abstract
A processor includes a processing core to execute an application comprising instructions encoding a transaction with a persistent memory via a non-persistent cache, wherein the transaction is to create a mapping from a virtual address space to a memory region identified by a memory region identifier (MRID) in the persistent memory, and tag a cache line of the non-persistent cache with the MRID, in which the cache line is associated with a cache line status, and a cache controller, in response to detecting a failure event, to selectively evict contents of the cache line to the memory region identified by the MRID based on the cache line status.
