Two architecturalremedies are proposed: (I) unification of I/O and memory;and (II) whole system programming. The proposed Apsaraarchitecture for servers combines these new techniques withthe best of existing server architecture concepts. The talkconcludes with identification of key technical challenges andopportunities, and insights from early experiences inimplementing Apsara.
