 Metall: A Persistent Memory Allocator for Data-Centric Analytics
 ===============================================
 
-* Provides rich memory allocation interfaces for C++ applications that
-  use persistent memory devices to persistently store heap data on such
-  devices.
-* Creates files in persistent memory and maps them into virtual memory
-  space so that users can access the mapped region just as normal memory
-  regions allocated in DRAM.
-* Actual persistent memory hardware could be any non-volatile memory (NVM) with file system support.
-* To provide persistent memory allocation, Metall employs concepts and
-  APIs developed by
-  [Boost.Interprocess](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_69_0/doc/html/interprocess.html).
-* Supports multi-thread
-* Also provides a space-efficient snapshot/versioning, leveraging reflink
-  copy mechanism in filesystem. In case reflink is not supported, Metall
-  automatically falls back to regular copy.
-* See details: [Metall overview slides](docs/publications/metall_101.pdf).

+- A memory allocator enables applications to transparently allocate data into a file system.
+
+  - From applications, Metall looks like a normal heap allocator.
+
+  - Applications can keep their data beyond single process life cycles and reattach the data in succeeding runs.
+
+  - Leverages the memory-mapped file mechanism (i.e., [mmap(2)](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mmap.2.html)) to _map_ application data in files to the main memory.
+
+- Employs the API developed by [Boost.Interprocess](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_69_0/doc/html/interprocess.html).
+
+  - Useful for allocating C++ data structures (including STL containers).
+
+- Incorporates state-of-the-art allocation algorithms.
+
+- Provides a space-efficient snapshot/versioning, leveraging the reflink copy mechanism in file systems.
