 	abstract = "Current computer systems separate main memory from storage. Programming languages typically
 reflect this distinction using different representations for data in memory (e.g. data structures,
 objects) and storage (e.g. files, databases). Moving data back and forth between these different
 layers and representations compromise both programming and execution efficiency. Recent nonvolatile
 memory technologies, such as Phase-Change Memory, Resistive RAM, and Magnetoresistive
 RAM make it possible to collapse main memory and storage into a single layer of persistent memory,
 opening the way for simpler and more efficient programming abstractions for handling persistence.
 This Ph.D. thesis introduces a design for the runtime environment for languages with automatic
 memory management, based on an original combination of orthogonal persistence, persistent memory
 programming, persistence by reachability, and lock-based failure-atomic transactions. Such design
 can significantly increase programming and execution efficiency, as in-memory data structures are
 transparently persistent, without the need for programmatic persistence handling, and removing the
 need for crossing semantic boundaries.
 In order to validate and demonstrate the proposed concepts, this work also presents JaphaVM,
 the first Java Virtual Machine specifically designed for persistent memory. In experimental results
 using benchmarks and real-world applications, JaphaVM in most cases executed the same operations
 between one and two orders of magnitude faster than database- and file-based implementations,
 while requiring significantly less lines of code.",
