While the conclusion is true and has been for some time, the supporting data is insufficient. For example, the author doesn't even bother to gloss over key reliability parameters s…

While FAEs (field apps engineers) are helpful and readily available, they are constrained by their lack of product knowledge, and the unidirectional flow of reference code and desi…

Let's be cautiously optimistic. Every few years a new memory tech comes along with tons of articles about how it's going to displace the current one in only 2 years. (RRAM has been…

Price or cost? The whole premise of taking NAND from 25nm to 19nm (for instance) is to fit more floating gates in the same area. You can take that as a smaller die, or as more bits…

Seems like he's asking for modularization so we can make special-case adjustments to libraries without completely monkey patching or rewriting them. Seems like a reasonable ask of …

Indirection in a log-structured form is the best way to increase write IOPs and optimize write amplification. More sophisticated SSDs actually have multiple log heads, for data wit…

Yes yes yes. The feeling you get from a good SSD is largely due to reduced IO latency (both read and write). The ability to absorb random writes (to a degree) is huge too. It's why…

Beautiful! Can I hook it up to any electric pianos?

Indeed! And "alter table", "create view", etc... I'm glad I didn't joint that credit union when I considered it a few years ago.
