AbstractModern data centers rely on large-scale memory systems to support everything from search engines to scientific computing. However, the increasing demand for memory leads to significant resource and energy use, particularly when older hardware is discarded before its useful life ends. This project addresses that challenge by developing MemWise, an intelligent system that efficiently manages memory across a range of hardware types. The project’s novelties are a programmable memory controller that
