一些写法的选择

缓存行
cacheline和cache line都在学术论文里见过。但是推荐cache line，因为维基百科里是这样写的，grammarly也只认识cache line。

关于分号
分号的水很深，很容易用错：https://www.grammarly.com/blog/semicolon/
尽量不要用吧。逗号和句号挺好的。
关于冒号
冒号后面首字母要不要大写众说纷纭：https://www.grammarly.com/blog/capitalization-after-colons/
我认为，冒号后面如果是带序号的几个句子的话，肯定要大写的：
This is a blog: (1) My name is seekstar. (2) My another name is searchstar.
所以冒号后面如果是一个完整的句子的话，就应该大写，这样才显得比较一致：
This is a sentence: My name is seekstar.
如果冒号后面不是一个完整的句子，就不应该首字母大写：
I have two names: seekstar and searchstar.
一些句式
- at xxx granularity
xxx is well aligned with 某种特性: xxx与 某种特性 贴合得很好。
Obeservation里我们做实验研究了什么什么，可以用We examine xxx，比如We examine how exactly NVM I/O affects the deduplication performance.
xxx can well exploit xxx.
容易错的点
overhead一般是作为不可数名词。只有当表示多种overhead的时候才是overheads。
来源：https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-plural-of/overhead.html
数字和单位之间要有空隙，用\,比较好。
