Towards Buffer Management with Tiered Main Memory by Hao, Xiangpeng, Zhou, Xinjing, Yu, Xiangyao, Stonebraker, Michael

“…Remote memory (i.e., tiered memory), connected to host servers via high-speed interconnect protocols such as RDMA and CXL, is expected to deliver 100x (less than 1us) lower latency than SSD and be more cost-effective than local DRAM through pooling or adopting cheaper memory technologies. Tiered memory opens up a large number of potential use cases within database systems. …”
