The SQL Server team shows how you can configure persistent memory for SQL Server on Linux:
With the release of SQL Server 2019 on Linux, Microsoft introduced persistent memory (PMEM) support on Linux. This is an exciting development, as previous versions of SQL Server on Linux didn’t support PMEM. Let’s look at how to configure the PMEM for SQL Server on Linux.
SQL Server 2016 introduced support for non-volatile DIMMs and an optimization called Tail of the Log Caching on NVDIMM. These leveraged Windows Server direct access to a persistent memory device in DAX mode to reduce the number of operations needed to harden a log buffer to persistent storage.
SQL Server 2019 extends the support for PMEM devices to Linux, providing full enlightenment of data and transaction logs placed on PMEM. Enlightenment is a way to access the storage device using efficient user-space memcpy() operations. Rather than going through the file system and storage stack, SQL Server leverages DAX support on Linux to place data directly into the device. This helps to reduce latency.
