The solution to most things is not to introduce more complexity. The way its done is ALREADY the most optimal way of solving the problem of avoiding tail latency. The fact that tail latency is already only present in such a vanishingly small percentile, makes it irrelevant to 99% of applications. Could the video have done a better job of explaining how well the problem has been engineered around already? Sure. But you are tackling a different problem here, and at the completely wrong scale. And even the first sentence is patently false: you can't control the placement, it's done by circuits etched in memory controllers. You can only check what they're doing, and avoid them getting in your way. The engineering has been solved: [RLDRAM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLDRAM) This solution is specifically to use general purpose computers to do things normally done with specialized hardware. Being able to work around it with software is delightful to say the least. I'm sure there a...
