 	abstract = "Upcoming non-volatile memory technologies are a big promise in computer architecture
 and are expected to be powerful tools to address today’s issues regarding efficient data manipulation.
 They provide high performance and byte granularity while also having the distinct advantage of being
 persistent. However in order to explore these technologies to their full potential, existing systems
 and architecture must adapt to this new way of working with data and workaround the challenges
 that come with it.
 Existing work in the area already proposes methods to adapt existing architecture to NVM
 as well as innovative ways to employ these memories in future applications. However operating
 system support to such NVM-enabled solutions, although existent, still very limited. In this work,
 we present two variations of the existing mmap system call, designed to both explore NVM characteristics
 and provide user data consistency. Both are very simple solutions that allow users to control
 the persistence and define checkpoints to their files while using the common mapped file syntax.
 We have implemented and tested these methods over Linux using a NVM file system as our base.
 Our results show that these mechanisms can ensure file integrity in the presence of system failures
 while also providing a reasonable performance.",
