An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for auto-commit memory management. The method includes receiving an auto-commit request from a client, such as a barrier request or a checkpoint request. The auto-commit request is associated with an auto-commit buffer of a non-volatile recording device. The method includes issuing a serializing instruction that flushes data from a processor complex to the auto-commit buffer. The method includes determining completion of the serializing instruction flushing the data to the auto-commit buffer.
