24 alternatives to New storage technology
Hi, I have developed a new technology to storage data in computer hard drive. It does have a native compression method that is transparent to OS and makes disk access faster than traditional SSD. It is enabled by some math formulas combined with existing programming principles. A practical implementation has been done in a windows virtual driver. As an example: You can create a virtual machine disk and install a 10GB Windows while in physical storage it only costs a few hundred megabytes, 100MB, 300MB depending on optimization. This short storage allow for memory caching making access way…

I built an experiment that uses an overfitted transformer and arithmetic coding to compress individual files. Instead of training the model to generalize, I train a 900KB transformer to memorize a single file and predict the next byte. Those predictions are fed into an arithmetic coder to produce the compressed output. On a 100MB NYC taxi CSV, it compresses to about 7MB (~0.5 bits/byte). On a 100MB slice of enwik9, it compresses to about 21MB (~1.68 bits/byte). It's pretty slow right now (roughly 20–30 minutes of training and 45 minutes each for compression and decompression on my…

we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence. To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads. In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on…
