1. A method of a writing to a virtual address associated with data residing within an asymmetric memory component of main memory that is within a computer system and that has a symmetric memory component, while preserving proximate other data residing within the asymmetric memory component, and enabling access to the proximate other data and the update upon receipt of a read request related to the data, where the symmetric memory component within the main memory of the computer system is configured to enable random access write operations in which an address within a block of the symmetric memory component is written without affecting the availability of other addresses within the block of the symmetric memory component during the writing of that address, and where the asymmetric memory component is configured to enable block write operations in which writing to an address within a region of the asymmetric memory component affects the availability of other addresses within the region of the asymmetric memory component during the block write operations involving the address, the method comprising: receiving, on a central processing unit, a command from an application to write data to the main memory within the computer system; determining that the data is to be written to an asymmetric memory component of the main memory within the computer system; despite determining that the data is to be written to the asymmetric memory component of the main memory within the computer system, configuring a memory table to associate the data with a physical address within a symmetric memory component of the main memory instead of the asymmetric memory component of the main memory within the computer system; writing, using a random access write operation, the data to the physical address for the symmetric memory component of the main memory within the computer system; configuring a memory map to map the physical address of the symmetric memory component to which the data is written to a first virtual address; receiving a first read request; determining, based on the memory map, that the first read request is associated with the first virtual address that is mapped to the symmetric memory component of the main memory within the computer system; and in satisfaction of the first read request, and based on determining that the first read request is associated with the first virtual address that is mapped to the symmetric memory component of the main memory within the computer system, enabling access to the data associated with virtual address within the symmetric memory component of the main memory within the computer system.
