[Cialug] SSD in a DIMM

[Matthew Nuzum]

Maybe the goal is to be able to address storage in the same way you address
RAM. For example, if you had a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM it would appear as
if you had 528GB of RAM. No different than if you have a really huge swap
file. Then, you don't have to worry about storing to disk, you just access
your storage from memory.

For example, memcached. Also, the memory would be nonvolatile I guess.

Presumably, the OS knows which memory is fastest and optimizes allocation
based on that.

Pure conjecture, I really just looked at the headlines and the pictures. :-)
