Here is a list of research questions that hopefully will develop into a dissertation topic.

[edit]

Persistent Memory

  • Can we implement a Persistent Objects/Applications/Systems using DiskRAM?
  • How does a DiskRAM implementation of Persistent Memory's performance compare to other systems?
  • Can we make a distributed persistent memory system that uses DiskRAM that competes with current systems?
  • Can we change current desktop applications to take advantage of persistent memory and improve performance?
[edit]

Transactional Memroy

  • Can we implement/provide architecture support for Transactional Memory using DiskRAM?
[edit]

Disk Data Rearrangement

  • Rearranging/Copying Data on the disk drive speeds up application loading times -- ODSC.
    • Can we do the same thing with DiskRAM to improve performance?
[edit]

Caching Strategies

  • Can we apply various caching strategies developed for processor caches to DiskRAM to improve performance?
