Heterogeneous and Composable Memory (HCM) offers a feasible solution for terabyte- or petabyte-scale systems, addressing the performance and efficiency demands of emerging big-data applications. Jason Lowe-Power (UC Davis) discussed smart memory management and the need for an efficient interface for it. Using emulation (e.g.

Making the use of resources efficiently and ensuring that this does not impact the budget available for cloud computing is not a one-time fix but a continuous cycle of picking properly sized resources and eliminating over-provisioning. Over-provisioned instances may lead to unnecessary infrastructure costs.
