Education

Keeton did her undergraduate studies at Carnegie Mellon University, with a double major in computer engineering and in engineering and public policy. [1] She completed her Ph.D. in 1999 at the University of California, Berkeley. Her dissertation, Computer Architecture Support for Database Applications, was supervised by David Patterson. [2]

Recognition

A paper written by Keeton in 2004 with four other researchers on the automated design of disaster-resistant enterprise storage systems won the Usenix FAST Test of Time Award in 2018. [3] She also won the 2018 SIGMOD best paper award for her work with other collaborators on "range filtering" data structures that combine the memory-efficient filtering abilities of bloom filters with the ability of range query data structures to find data with a range of key values rather than with a single exactly matching key. [4]

Keeton was elected as an ACM Fellow in 2018 for "contributions to improving the dependability, manageability, and usability of storage and novel memory". [5] She became an IEEE Fellow in 2021. [6]

The Machine is the name of an experimental computer made by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. It was created as part of a research project to develop a new type of computer architecture for servers. The design focused on a “memory centric computing” architecture, where NVRAM replaced traditional DRAM and disks in the memory hierarchy. The NVRAM was byte addressable and could be accessed from any CPU via a photonic interconnect. The aim of the project was to build and evaluate this new design.
