A few weeks ago, I received a cold email from VMware Research’s Irina Calciu with this great news! The award is to support our ongoing research on memory disaggregation. VMware is doing some cool work in this space as well, and I look forward to collaborating with them in near future.

I’d like to thank VMware for their vote of confidence and support, as well as my students whose hard work this award recognizes. We have several good results in the pipeline, and hopefully we’ll get to share them with the world soon.
