PolyStore is a meta layer that sits above device‑optimized file systems (Nova on persistent memory and ext4 on NVMe) and implements a user‑level runtime plus OS component, a profile range tree index, epoch‑based thread monitoring for dynamic data placement, and a DRAM buffer cache with device‑specific admission/eviction. Evaluated on persistent memory + NVMe SSD, it saturates up to 90% of combined bandwidth, outperforms hierarchical caching/tiering (up to 6.1× on sequential microbenchmarks) and reports 1.11X–9.38X microbenchmark gains and 1.52X–2.02X speedups on real applications.
