Summary: Mutlu told The Platform that it's time that we start rethinking DRAM, which aside from the flaws described so far, has great potential.
Summary: "Rowhammer" is a problem with some recent DRAM devices in which repeatedly accessing a row of memory can cause bit flips in adjacent rows. We tested a selection of laptops and found that a subset of them exhibited the problem.
Summary: DRAM isn't nearly as reliable as vendors would like you to think. Now researchers have shown that bit flips can be induced maliciously by simple user-level programs. Will vendors fix the problem?
Summary: Main memory is all the same. But why? All data is not created equal, so why is memory? Another reason the cloud is winning.
Summary: In recent years in the flash memory market, we've seen SSD controller designers revisit and challenge the fundamental assumptions surrounding - what's the best way to interact with the raw memory?
