Abstract

The paper represents a suggestion for a non-volatile computer system design. We propose architecture for implementing the main memory as non-volatile, resulting in a non-volatile computer. Our solution is based on the rapidly developing contemporary semiconductor phase change memory (PCM). We propose a new design of the memory controller which incorporates the main memory and extends the endurance of the system. The operating systems should not be changed for the effective use of the new computer system design suggestion. Our goal is to present a good performance and endurance of the model.
