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 ...

A1.1 Computer hardware and operation: Examines different types of memory, processor interaction, and system performance. A4.1 Machine learning fundamentals: Covers the hardware required to run AI and ...

Like many system architects the world over, we had high hopes for the 3D XPoint variant of phase change memory (PCM) when it launched with much fanfare back in July 2015 after being developed jointly ...

Experts at the Table — Part 1: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about AI and the latest issues in SRAM with Tony Chan Carusone, CTO at Alphawave Semi; Steve Roddy, chief marketing officer at ...

A computer is nothing without the components or parts inside of it. Many users are taking advantage of what these powerful machines offer, yet have no idea what components make them tick. Bear in mind ...

We have been excited about the possibilities of adding tiers of memory to systems, particularly persistent memories that are less expensive than DRAM but offer similar-enough performance and ...

Even if you focus only on a single product, that “boost clock” listed on the box doesn’t mean what you think it does. It’s ...

UD’s Tingyi Gu receives NSF CAREER award to study materials that can create more reliable, less energy-intensive forms of computer memory To develop the types of high-speed, energy-efficient ...

Many people have heard the term cache coherency without fully understanding the considerations in the context of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, especially those using a network-on-chip (NoC). To ...

Some researchers suggest these are not distinct types of memory, but rather stages of memory. In this view, memory begins in sensory memory, transitions to short-term memory, and then may move to long ...
