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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

The RAMCloud project is creating a new class of storage, based entirely in DRAM that is reportedly 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than existing storage systems. To get you up to speed, the Cloud ...
