We’re pleased to announce the launch of SHEPHERD, a new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowship project focused on improving memory resilience in modern computing systems.

As data volumes grow and services become more distributed, the need for larger, faster memory continues to increase. However, with more memory comes a higher risk of errors, which can disrupt service availability and lead to data loss. SHEPHERD aims to address this challenge by developing cross-layer memory resilience techniques, where software and hardware work together to prevent these issues with minimal impact on performance.

The project envisions building systems that stay reliable and responsive, even as they handle larger datasets across disaggregated memory architectures. By focusing on both software and hardware solutions, SHEPHERD seeks to provide an effective, low-overhead approach to ensuring continuous service and data integrity.

We look forward to sharing updates as the project progresses and to exploring how these innovations can improve memory resilience in tomorrow’s digital landscape..
