Memory Management Techniques for Large-Scale Persistent-Main-Memory Systems

Summary: PAllocator: a fail-safe, highly concurrent allocator for persistent SCM in large-scale non-volatile main memory. Introduces a defragmentation algorithm to address persistent memory fragmentation, achieving up to 10x throughput gains vs prior allocators and 2.39x faster persistent B-Trees.
