Hi. I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I had a feeling that many of you might have some ideas on this. I have to write a research report on Advanced Computer Architecture. It can be about pipelining, branch prediction, memory or whatever. I want something really interesting and I have to be able to relate it with current technology today. For exam a distinct memory design for a new Dell processor or something like that. I'd appreciate any ideas because I'm not able to brainstorm much on it.

Several years ago I bought an ASUS Transformer TF300 tablet. It turned out to be OK except for one major flaw. If I understand correctly, it had NAND memory, which apparently was new and not well tested at the time. It turned out that it becomes slow over time to a point of a crawl. Therefore, something called TRIM operation was added to Android 4.3. It cleans the memory when the tablet is not in use. Unfortunately for me, ASUS never released Android 4.3 update for TF300. I think the technical details of this would be quite interesting.
