Hi, We are currently funded by the National Science Foundation to "design and analyze a memory module that collects garbage in real time". Our proposed design is such that the memory module mimics traditional memory. This allows installation of the special memory into existing computer systems (even those with memory caches) with minimal impact on existing system architectures. We are nearing completion of the algorithm design, and are beginning to look toward implementation of a hardware prototype. Since our expertise is in computer science instead of electrical engineering, we are hoping to find a company who might be willing to contribute expertise, laboratory facilities, and/or additional research funding in return for licensing rights to the patents which we are in the process of applying for. Additional technical details are available from us for the asking. If any of you work for companies that might be interested in supporting this kind of research, or have friends who do, could you please send me an email note with the name of the company, and the name, phone or email identity of the person whom we should contact at the company? Thank you very much. Kelvin Nilsen/Dept. of Computer Science/Iowa State University/Ames, IA 50011 (515) 294-2259 kelvin@cs.iastate.edu uunet!atanasoff!kelvin
