Semantically-Smart Disk Systems: Past, PResent, and Future

Semantically-smart disks have something to do with DiskRAM, even though they have taken a different approach.

Muthian graduated and went to google, but this is his work under Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau
They have several papers in FAST and one in ISCA '04 on the same topic.

SASOS (Single-Address Space OS)

Memory

SafeMem exploits ECC for detecting memory leaks.

RAPID 85% of DRAM pages retain data for >10s

  • (Couldn't DRAM manufacturers introduce power-efficient DRAMs that have 130% capacity selected down by retention?)

Dependability

An Integrated Framework for Dependable and Revivable Architecture Using Multicore Processors (Another INDRA) A system of checkpointing which allows for quick backups. I was wondering if DiskRAM could implement this more transparently.

Transactional Memory

Unbounded Transactional Memory
