INTRODUCTION
Memory is an indispensable component of computing devices. This indispensability has unfortunately led to stagnation on technology and business fronts. Major reason for this stagnation is the extreme level of commoditization of memory: Memory function remains fairly consistent regardless of its usage. Memory is probably the most under-innovated component in the computing architecture, given the potential for innovations.
