RAMCloud is a research paper (pdf) and an open software project. The goal is enterprise-class availability with every bit of active data stored in DRAM, not disk or flash, for maximum performance.

The idea of replacing hard disk drives with flash memory has been gaining steam in the IT industry. But a research group at Stanford University is going even further: they say the goal should be to ...

A team led by John Ousterhout, professor of computer science, recently completed a vital stage in the development of RAMCloud, a key value data storage system that will improve performance levels of ...

在IT业界用闪存取代传统硬盘已经成了其发展趋势。但是斯坦福大学的一个研究小组进一步提出：DRAM才是传统硬盘的“终结者”。 为了实现这一目标，这个研究小组正在开展一项名为“RAMCloud”（内存云）的项目，它能够聚合上千台服务器的内存，从而极大地 ...

Storing information in DRAM memory instead of hard disks could vastly speed up computing according to Stanford researchers. John Ousterhout’s proposed RAMCloud is based on dynamic random access memory ...

This article reminds me of my biggest shock moving from Amiga to PC back in the 90's. The loss of the RAM drive. I used to play games by copying the whole disk to ram and running it from there. Talk ...

Computer researchers at Stanford want to throw away the hard disk and store information in data centers in random access memory, the more expensive temporary storage that makes programs run faster.

One of the more potentially revolutionary technologies that will have a profound impact on the enterprise in 2013 is the rise of in-memory computing. While most everyone agrees that more database and ...

In this video, Ankita Kejriwal from Stanford presents: The RAMCloud Project. The RAMCloud project is creating a new class of storage, based entirely in DRAM, that is 2-3 orders of magnitude faster ...
