Multi-domain Hardware Memory Compression
THE CHALLENGE
In hyperscale data centers, the most expensive component in CPU-based servers, in terms of both monetary cost and carbon footprint, is currently computer memory; going forward, memory is expected to become even more expensive relative to other server components. Hardware memory compression, where the CPU’s memory controller transparently...

Demand-adaptive Memory Compression in Hardware
THE CHALLENGE
The density scaling of computer memory has lagged behind central processing units (CPUs) and storage creating a cost bottleneck in data centers and cloud computing. To help logically scale up memory density, operating systems (OSes) today compress and pack more values into the same physical amount of memory. To minimize the impact on...

Recovering Critical Elements from Acid Mine Drainage
THE CHALLENGE
The demand for certain elements, such as Manganese (Mn), Cobalt (Co), and Nickel (Ni), has surged in recent years due to the rapid growth of battery production for electric vehicles and utility-scale energy storage. The United States government has deemed Co, Ni, and Mn critical elements, primarily because of the country’s high...
