Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for asynchronously accessing data. The method may include determining, on the basis of an instruction of a user, data to be moved in a persistent memory and metadata associated with the data. The method may further include sending the metadata to a programmable network device associated with the persistent memory such that the programmable network device moves the data on the basis of the metadata. In addition, the method may include informing, in response to receiving a confirmation of operation completion from the programmable network device, the user that the operation of moving the data has been completed. The embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve an operation of asynchronously accessing data. Furthermore, computing resources of a central processing unit (CPU) are saved, so that the user experience is enhanced.
