Novel Memory Technologies for Multi-Tenant Exploratory Programming

The current deep learning trend has given new popularity to the Exploratory Programming style, which often comes with high and exclusive-use demands on compute hardware and memory resources. Yet, the underlying system software is unaware of the memory semantics within applications---inhibiting optimization and use of emerging technologies. Due to over-abstraction, hardware utilization is low, resource waste (including energy) is high, and development cycles in shared scenarios are slow since users have to wait for others to give up their locks.
