Radio Free HPC: The Persistence of Memory
In this episode, we drill down on what Intel is doing with their cool Optane memory tech, shooting for speeds that remind you of memory, sizes that look like storage, and costs that make it look like a deal, with real byte-addressable persistent memory right inside the server – or block-addressable, if you want. This is a space that was bound to get filled and we’ve been watching the industry’s progress.

Distributed Data Caching For Big Data
In this contributed article, Neeraj Murarka, CTO & Co-founder of Bluzelle, discusses distributed data caching techniques design for big data. The importance of a cache is self-evident: it reduces the strain on a database by positioning itself as an intermediary layer between the database and the end users – broadly speaking, it will transfer data from a low-performance location to a higher-performance location.
