There is a solution to the memory shortage. Developers could start writing efficient and optimized code. This may require some re-training.

First off, stop using multi-gig libraries is a start. Modern software is bloated slop, with the exception of some really nice open source programs.

The entire LibreOffice download is 348 MEGABYTES. Microsoft Office is 5.3 GIGABYTES. For WHAT?

The basic premise of parking_lot (which comes from WebKit; you can read all about it) is so cool to me. In short, if you need a million locks, you don't need a million 32-bit words in memory; at most NUM_THREADS of them will be contended at any time. Just maintain a concurrent hash table that tracks whatever each thread is up to. (Note: parking_lot still uses small 8-bit atomics per lock.) I'm miffed I didn't come up with it myself; but it does does seem to have limited applicability. I really enjoyed exploring the premise and looking for other places where it could come in handy.
