The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the University of Washington to develop MemWise, an intelligent system that efficiently manages memory across a range of hardware types in modern data centers. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award from September 2025 to August 2029 include: 1) a programmable memory controller that coordinates how data is moved and stored across different generations of memory, 2) a technique for reusing older memory modules alongside newer ones to reduce cost, and 3) new fault-tolerant methods to ensure reliability as memory components age. The project aims to demonstrate that thoughtful system design can extend hardware lifespans and reduce waste without sacrificing performance, with testing across public cloud, private infrastructure, and direct-to-hardware computing environments.
