Guest Editorial Channel Modeling, Coding and Signal Processing for Novel Physical Memory Devices and Systems

Abstract

The digital universe is doubling every two years and expected to reach an unwieldy 44 zettabytes into the next decade. To cope with the ever increasing need for storing, transmitting and retrieving huge amounts of data, cloud storage, data centers and other massively distributed storage networks have emerged. These rely on efficient memory technologies at the physical level for speed, reliability and energy efficiency.
