ParPerOS: Parallel Persistency OS (DFG: LO 1719/8-1 and DI 2840/2-1)

In ParPerOS, we examine new abstractions for unified but efficient and optionally crash-consistent low-level memory management for data objects in heterogeneous memory systems that consist of volatile, persistent, distributed and other types of main memory.
