    Any idea how actually usefull is this? What kind of real world scenarios can be used?

    Are either of these specifically adaptive packed-memory arrays? The former cites it, but only has one type of PMA implemented, it seems.

  I was thinking it would be nice to have this insert operation pushed down into the NVM/SSD. If there could be an MMU with lookup tables attached to virtual address space regions inside the NVM, it would effectively be this. The older I get, the more I realize that the world runs on slop. The techies are optimizing everything and removing slop, but this slop has allowed systems to be resilient. A little "waste" goes a long way.
