Today I watched a video on RAMCloud. I have made an index over the various sections of the video, with direct links. You’ll find this index in the bottom of this post.
“The RAMCloud project is creating a new class of storage, based entirely in DRAM, that is 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than existing storage systems”
Notable features (in my oppinion) a fast DRAM backed key-value interface with durability, fast recovery and the potential for adding transactions.
