PerMA-Bench: Benchmarking Persistent Memory Access

Summary: PerMA-Bench: configurable benchmark framework for evaluating database-related PMem access. Extensive cross-server study of Optane Gen1/Gen2 across DIMM counts and power budgets reveals design choices affecting bandwidth, latency, and OPS; PMem often DRAM-competitive, with eight influencing factors.
