NVM Direct Library Download
The advent of persistent memory in enterprise computing introduces new problems related to managing consistent application state. To solve these problems Oracle has developed a C library and a set of C extensions for applications utilizing NVM. This library and the extensions implement an application interface (API) that is applicable to a wide range of applications.
The first download on this page contains the shared library portion of the API and an example shared library written with the API. This preliminary version is being released so people can understand the intent of the API, and get a feel for what it can do. This is not production quality yet. The included README file has more information.
The second download on this page contains the executables for the precompiler that implements the C extensions for NVM. It should work on any modern x64 Linux distribution. The included README file has more information on how to use it.
The library has been developed using Eclipse Luna. There are six Eclipse projects in the zip file as described in the README. The easiest way to use this download is to install Eclipse, extract the files from the zip file, and use the extracted directory as an Eclipse workspace. The build configurations ending in X compile the code with the C extensions. Of course that requires extracting the two precompiler executables and making them available through your $PATH.
