This is the workshop repo. If you're reading this through a webhackathon window or a workshop SSH session, then you're probably looking at your own private copy of the repo. This repo contains the slides and examples used during the virtual workshop on April 21, 2021. It is provided permanently for reference on GitHub: https://github.com/pmemhackathon/2021-04-21 The PDF files at the top level contain slides: slides.pdf -- essential hackathon background slides-java.pdf -- java background pmdk-overview.pdf -- overview of Persistent Memory Development Kit libpmemobj.pdf -- overview of libpmemobj (C API) libpmemobj-cpp.pdf -- overview of libpmemobj (C++ API) The examples are in examples/A, exmamples/B, etc. Each example is meant to show a persistent memory programming concept, like transactions, support for a specific language, and API, etc. The idea is to use the first few examples (A through C) to gain some essential background knowledge, then pick examples that are interesting to you. Use them as a starting point, or a reference as you develop your own persistent memory aware programs. There's a README.txt file in each example directory that explains what the example is all about. For more information, contact andy.rudoff@intel.com or post your question to the "pmem" google group on groups.google.com. The containers used during the hackathons have all the necessary libraries installed in them. You can access the container directly on DockerHub in the "pmemhackathon" area. Here are the steps taken to install the libraries on a Linux machine. These steps assume you have a machine with persistent memory installed and a recent Linux distro that supports persistent memory. We don't show the ipmctl and ndctl commands used to configure the persistent memory. These examples assume persistent memory is available as a DAX mounted filesystem at "/pmem" on your system. The following link provides more details about the steps to configure persistent memory: https://docs.pmem.io/getting-started-guide # # To clone this repo, use something like the command below. # (Examples assume cloning in your home directory, hence the "cd") # cd git clone https://github.com/pmemhackathon/2021-04-21 # # Some of the examples use PMDK. The distro-supplied libraries like # libpmemobj should work fine for these examples, but if you want to # install the very latest versions, take a look at how the docker image # was created for this workshop. You can see the Dockerfile, along with # scripts used to build and install each library, here: # # https://github.com/pmemhackathon/2021-04-21.web/tree/master/docker
