On the downside, if you want more information than &quot;these two things are spatially close to one another&quot;, the Hilbert curve makes it difficult. Unless you have a map of the curve in your head, could you tell where in the file something in (say) the upper-right quadrant is?<p>If folks are interested in Hilbert curve visualizations applied to live memory, this is something I implemented in PANDA a couple years ago and demoed at RECON:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;YGVnpWXtlF4?t=2919" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;YGVnpWXtlF4?t=2919</a><p>My conclusion was that I had no idea how I&#x27;d actually use such a thing, but it sure is pretty to watch values in memory changing on the Hilbert curve!
