Integrating Reliable Memory in Databases

Summary: Proposes Rio-based reliable memory integration into a DBMS with three designs: non-persistent, persistent, and protected-persistent caches. Mapping memory into DB space cuts buffering; protections limit exposure, enabling a reliable-memory DB interface. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
