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.
