  • Publication number: 20180024768
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to partitioning memory modules into volatile and non-volatile portions. For example, a system includes a memory controller to partition a memory module into a non-volatile portion and a volatile portion and to identify persistent data to be backed up during a power loss condition. The memory controller is further to transfer the persistent data from the volatile portion of the memory module to the non-volatile portion of the memory module, in response to the power loss condition.
