A Portable Compiler-Integrated Approach to Permanent Checking
Program checking technology is now a mature technology, but is not yet used on a large scale. We identify one cause of this gap in the decoupling of checking tools from the everyd...

Providing safe, user space access to fast, solid state disks
Emerging fast, non-volatile memories (e.g., phase change memories, spin-torque MRAMs, and the memristor) reduce storage access latencies by an order of magnitude compared to state...
