SSDAlloc Memory expansion technology commercialized
July 10, 2012
Graduate student Anirudh Badam and Professor Vivek Pai have been
working on exploiting solid-state disk (SSD) to expand
the addressable memory that programs can
use; they developed a hybrid memory allocator called SSDAlloc. Today,
Fusion-io announced their Extended Memory technology resulting
from a collaboration with Badam and Pai.
