    Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for store durability and ordering in a persistent memory architecture. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: performing at least one store operation to one or more addresses identifying at least one persistent memory device, the store operations causing one or more memory controllers to store data in the at least one persistent memory device; sending a request message to the one or more memory controllers instructing the memory controllers to confirm that the store operations are successfully committed to the at least one persistent memory device; ensuring at the one or more memory controllers that at least all pending store operations received at the time of the request message will be committed to the persistent memory device; and sending a response message from the one or more memory controllers indicating that the store operations are successfully committed to the persistent memory device.

    Abstract translation: 描述了用于在持久存储器架构中的存储耐久性和排序的装置和方法。 例如,方法的一个实施例包括:对识别至少一个持久存储器设备的一个或多个地址执行至少一个存储操作,所述存储操作使一个或多个存储器控制器将数据存储在所述至少一个持久存储器设备中; 向所述一个或多个存储器控制器发送请求消息,指示所述存储器控制器确认所述存储操作被成功地提交给所述至少一个持久存储器设备; 确保在所述一个或多个存储器控制器处,至少在请求消息时接收到的所有未决存储操作将被提交给持久存储器设备; 以及从所述一个或多个存储器控制器发送指示所述存储操作被成功地提交给所述持久存储器设备的响应消息。
