Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. And this all has to work for whole-system executions, not just the C-language portion of user processes.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. We formulate the problem as a Mixed Integer Program (MIP). can we actually make this work in practice?
