These types of multi-tier compute systems/MITM processors are now being implemented. Microsoft publicly discusses their efforts here:

That looks like a lot of fun. I wonder if they would let me do a 1 year residency with that team. HP Enterprise was doing something as well with "the machine" (very large memory systems) which generated some interesting papers.

I feel like we do not yet have a calculus for analyzing the mix of "entanglement" of data across transactional expressions. It is a problem I've puzzled over since about 2001 when Steve Kleiman asked me to scale file systems without speeding up the processor.

As I recall the solution then was "buy Spinnaker". :) . Join us at HPE storage, we'll do it right this time!
