TL;DR: Start-Gap is proposed, a simple, novel, and effective wear-leveling technique that uses only two registers that boosts the achievable lifetime of the baseline 16 GB PCM-based system from 5% to 97% of the theoretical maximum, while incurring a total storage overhead of less than 13 bytes and obviating the latency overhead of accessing large tables.

TL;DR: A case for HPC with virtual machines is presented by introducing a framework which addresses the performance and management overhead associated with VM-based computing and shows that HPC applications can achieve almost the same performance as those running in a native, non-virtualized environment.

TL;DR: VMM-bypass allows time-critical I/O operations to be carried out directly in guest VMs without involvement of the VMM and/or a privileged VM by exploiting the intelligence found in modern high speed network interfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic tag is equipped with a sensor which determines dynamic properties of a product when the tag is activated, such as the temperature of the product or the expiration date.

TL;DR: Results show that the hardware compression of main memory has a negligible penalty compared to an uncompressed main memory, and for memory-starved applications it increases performance significantly, and the memory content of an application can usually be compressed by a factor of 2.
