Multicore processors have come to dominate the commodity market upon which many large scale systems are based. The number of cores is increasing with the speed of Moore's law and as a direct consequence, the memory available per core is decreasing, often severely limiting the problem size for programs running on such platforms. Thus, mechanisms to store memory efficiently in DRAM, increasing the effective capacity of DRAM, in a way that requires no reprogramming, would dramatically increase the benefits of multicore nodes for large scale systems.
