I received my PhD from UC San Diego in Fall 2021 and joined Oracle in November 2021. My PhD program was under the supervision of Professor Steven Swanson in the Non-Volatile Systems Lab (NVSL) of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). I had been working on building fast, smart storage systems, and fast non-volatile memories which can act like DRAM, and presumably will be able to directly attached to a processor's memory bus. We observed that the implementation of crash-consistent data structures needs extra care to debug. This led us to my PhD thesis research which aims to enforce PMEM safety statically at compile-time. We developed a new president memory library based, Corundum, which is written in Rust and statically enforces PMEM safety rules. Using that, programmers can make sure that their programs are provably correct in terms of PMEM-safety, without spending extra time learning the PMEM programming model and debugging their implementations.
