Pointers in Far Memory: Rethinking how data and computations should be organized.

The article focus on the issue of computer memory storage. It mentions how the current costs of renting memory storage are high considering that the software as a service customer has to pay upfront for more memory capacity than they will likely use. It discusses research into far memory applications that would allow for data shareability at a lower overhead cost. It points to developing operating system technologies that would utilize globally invariant pointers to help scale memory use between near-memory processing and far memory resources.
