DESCRIPTION:Clément Burgelin\nEDIC candidacy exam\nExam president: Prof. 
 Paolo Ienne\nThesis advisor: Prof. Rachid Guerraoui\nCo-examiner: Prof. Ed
 ouard Bugnion\n\nAbstract\nModern data centers offer fast network fabric a
 nd specialized hardware to make efficient use of this network. Such techno
 logies enable the emergence of new data center architectures. Disaggregate
 d Memory (DM) is one such architecture that allows for better resource uti
 lization and scalability of cloud services such as Key-Value Stores (KVSes
 ). Yet\, designing services for DM is not a trivial task\, and existing DM
 -based in-memory KVSes suffer from high latency overhead and low throughpu
 t compared to traditional ones. We study recent contributions made in the 
 field of DM-based services and in-memory KVSes\, and how new designs could
  further improve upon existing approaches.\n\nBackground papers\n1- Design
