# SHORT DESC: Recoverable Virtual Memory System
# LONG DESC: RVM, a Recoverable Virtual Memory system, is a mechanism to support persistent virtual memory in the face of system crashes. The current state of affairs is that software rather than hardware is limiting factor is systems reliability, and so RVM is intended to assist in building more robust software. RVMs principal reliability criterion is to provide permanence of committed changes and integrity of data over operating system crashes. The fatal nature of these all-too-frequent events often leaves data structures in a shambles. But the all-or-none property of atomic transactions can insure consistency of data structures over crashes and makes the application significantly more robust with small cost. Using simple, non-nested local transactions, it provides a way to automatically checkpoint the state of memory before an operation and restore that state in the event of a crash.
