Summary:Storage class memory may be used in an architecture to achieve high performance, high reliability, high compatibility. In some embodiments, reads may be handled in a conventional way used in a memory based model. However writes do not use a memory based model but instead correspond to a storage based model. The hybrid nature can be achieved by setting the storage class memory to be write protected so that all writes must go through a software based block device interface. In some embodiments, the software based block device interface prevents erroneous writes to the storage class memory.
