+title: Persistent Memory Regions
+
+description: |
+ Persistent memory refers to a class of memory devices that are:
+
+ a) Usable as main system memory (i.e. cacheable), and
+ b) Retain their contents across power failure.
+
+ Given b) it is best to think of persistent memory as a kind of memory mapped
+ storage device. To ensure data integrity the operating system needs to manage
+ persistent regions separately to the normal memory pool. To aid with that this
+ binding provides a standardised interface for discovering where persistent
+ memory regions exist inside the physical address space.
