What is it about?
This innovation introduces a smarter way to copy data in memory, delaying the operation until it's needed. By doing this at the memory controller level, it reduces delays and makes applications faster, improving performance for tasks like database updates and fork system calls.

Why is it important?
This uniquely highlights how many copies are excessive in modern database applications and operating system calls. Not all copied data is used, and so avoiding unnecessary copies improves performance.
