Hamming Tree: The Case for Energy-Aware Indexing for NVMs

Summary: Hamming Tree: a software-level, memory-aware index for NVMs that minimizes bit flips by steering writes to segments, saving energy and wear. On Optane, it achieves up to 67.8% energy reduction, underscoring energy-aware indexing for NVM endurance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
