When non-volatile memory (NVM) introduces persistence, the old definitions of opacity fail to account for the state left behind after a crash. This is the gap addressed in the Defining and Verifying Durable Opacity paper.  The authors provide a novel definition of durable opacity that extends opacity to handle crashes and recovery in the context of NVM. Additionally, the authors develop a durably opaque version of an existing algorithm to demonstrate how opacity can be extended to handle crashes and recovery. ## Sources - Defining and Verifying Durable Opacity: Correctness for Persistent Software Transactional Memory: https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.08200v1",
