NVRAM-aware Logging in Transaction Systems

Summary: NVRAM-aware logging uses NVRAM only for the log, not the full database, to balance cost and performance. Per-transaction logging removes log-buffer bottlenecks, enabling concurrency, with 1.4–2.7x gains over all-NVRAM, 1.2–6.7x over PMFS, and ~20% over distributed logging.
