 +  * Interference
 +  * Complexity of the memory scheduler
 +    * Ranking/​prioritization has cost
 +    * Complex scheduler has higher latency
 +  * Performance metric for multicore/​multithead applications
 +    * Speedup
 +    * Slowdown
 +    * Harmonic vs wrighted
 +  * Fairness mertic
 +    * Maximum slowdown
 +      * Why does it make sense
 +      * Any scenario that it does not make sense?
 +  * Predictable performance
 +    * Why is it important?
 +      * In server environment,​ different jobs are on the same server
 +      * In a mobile environment,​ there are multiple sources that can slowdown other sources
 +    * How to relate slowdown with request service rate
 +    * MISE: soft slowdown guarantee
 +  * BDI
 +    * Memory wall
 +      * What is the concern regarding the memory wall
 +    * Size of the cache on the die (CPU die)
 +    * One possible solution: cache compression
 +      * What is the problems of existing cache compression mechanism
 +        * Some are too complex
 +        * Decompression is in the critical path
 +          * Need to decompress when reading the data -> decompression should not be in the critical path
 +          * Important factor to the performance
 +    * Software compression is not good enough to compress everything
 +    * Zero value compression
 +      * Simple
 +      * Good compression ratio
 +      * What is data does not have many zeroes
 +    * Frequent value compression
 +      * Some data appear fequently
 +      * Simple and good compression ratio
 +      * have to profile
 +      * decompression is complex
 +    * Frequent pattern compression
 +      * Still to complex in terms of decompression
 +    * Based delta compression
 +      * Easy to decompress but retain the benefit of compression
