#60: Kristie Mann, Intel Persistent Memory

Intel started showing off persistent memory in 2018, before launching formally in April of 2019. PMem was initially targeted toward high-performance database use cases. Here the massive expansion of memory within a server was beneficial for those workloads, but the persistence was icing on the cake, removing the need to rehydrate a large RAM footprint after a system reboot. PMem has come a long way in a short time, Intel recently launched the second iteration of PMem, the 200 Series. On this podcast, Kristie Mann (Queen of PMem) talks about where PMem has come from and what the future holds.
