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…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

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 much faster while it remains non-volatile. Imagine companies with 10,000 VMs with much faster desktops and storage cost reduction on orders of magnitude. That is what can be done here. Few video illustrations below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-ZR3bSntHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDfMVzwLWvI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjcwjZfFHBw Problem I'm having is I emailed several research groups and email is ignored, people don't even click the video link. Any suggestions to take this further? Thanks Lucas

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
