Gaps in the memory hierarchy have created openings for new types of memory, and there is no shortage of possibilities. It’s no secret that today’s memory chips and storage devices are struggling to ...

Your computer has two basic kinds of memory: hard drive storage and random-access memory, and they perform separate functions. Although adding a second hard drive increases your PC's storage capacity, ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

In this video from DDN booth at SC18, Andrey Kudryavtsev from Intel presents: Reimagining the Datacenter Memory and Storage Hierarchy. Intel Optane DC persistent memory represents a new class of ...

Memory has been a key limiting factor in the design of processor-based systems since, well, forever. The number of weird and wonderful storage systems is actually pretty large, although many designers ...

The exponential growth of digital data is being driven by a number of factors, including the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) and an increased reliance on complex analytics extracted from extremely ...

In a bid to create smaller, more powerful computers and smartphones, researchers at New York University have come up with a new digital data storage technique they've dubbed "racetrack memory." There ...
