Smart Storage Technologies
Volatile or non-volatile storage and memory systems can do more than just save and transfer data with the right augmentation. It's possible to provide more capacity using data compression. Information can be more secure using data encryption. In addition, computation can be moved into the storage device to offload the host and provide a more efficient data-manipulation system.
Networks and SmartNICs
Data centers are built around very large network and storage systems. Optimizing data movement is key to providing efficient operation. Moving some of the processing from the host to the network interface card (NIC) can reduce the overall traffic and provide services from firewalls to data compression in a SmartNIC. The SmartNIC TechXchange contains a more extensive list of SmartNIC articles, but a couple are included here as well.
CXL Storage and Disaggregation
The Compute Express Link (CXL) TechXchange provides a more detailed list of CXL articles. A few of the articles are listed here, as CXL has become a major component in data-center storage these days. The technology is also being utilized in embedded systems due to the escalating storage requirements of high performance computing (HPC).
More Memory Technologies
There are lots of memory and storage articles that don't fit in the prior sections, so we collected some of the more interesting ones here. They include articles about secure boot and SR-IOV, which are memory-related technologies.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
