| 1 | This allows drivers to communicate with their devices by writing to and reading from memory. | |
| 2 | If these JVMs are on additional physical servers with CPU, memory and network, then this allows scalable servicing of read requests. | |
| 3 | Just as Moore's law dictates that a unit of processing power halves in price every 18 months, the price of bandwidth and storage is dropping even faster. | |
| 4 | A process of dynamic relocation in which contiguous segments are moved to one end of the memory to combine all unused storage at the other end. |
