Bond","Guoqing Harry Xu"],"abstract":"Byte-addressable persistent memory, such as Intel/Micron 3D XPoint, is an emerging technology that bridges the gap between volatile memory and persistent storage. Data in persistent memory survives crashes and restarts; however, it is challenging to ensure that this data is consistent after failures. Existing approaches incur significant performance costs to ensure crash consistency. This paper introduces Crafty, a new approach for ensuring consistency and atomicity on persistent memory operations using commodity hardware with existing hardware transactional memory (HTM) capabilities, while incurring low overhead. Crafty employs a novel technique called nondestructive undo logging that leverages commodity HTM to control persist ordering. Our evaluation shows that Crafty outperforms state-of-the-art prior work under low contention, and performs competitively under high contention.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/2004.00262v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.00262v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"crafty-efficient-htm-compatible-persistent","repo_url":"https://github.com/PLaSSticity/Crafty","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
