ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for storing transactional information in persistent memory. In one embodiment, the invention features a persistent volatile memory and an intermediary program in communication with the persistent volatile memory. The intermediary program receives transactional information and stores the information in the persistent volatile memory. A computer uses the intermediary program to enable the contents of the persistent volatile memory to remain unaltered during a failure of the computer. Additionally, the intermediary program may determine whether the transactional information meets a predetermined criteria before storing the information in the persistent volatile memory.
