So, you’ve probably heard about CPU caches before. They’re like little speed boosters for your computer, holding ...
Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have designed a system where programs can have access to ad hoc optimally allocated cache memory. In a simulation test ...
Multiple OEMs are marketing systems as if their total memory loadout is equivalent to their actual DRAM + Optane cache. That's not how this works.
Optane Memory uses a "least recently used" (LRU) approach to determine what gets stored in the fast cache. All initial data reads come from the slower HDD storage, and the data gets copied over to ...
Patent claims drawn to a computer memory system did not cover an abstract idea and, therefore, the second step of the Alice test was an unnecessary inquiry.
ZeroPoint’s CacheMX, which works at the cache level, is IP that’s included with a processor’s IP. The lossless compression system also manages the compressed data (Fig. 1).

Please stop buying DRAM-less SSDs

Most users will not notice a drop in performance with a DRAM-less SSD, but it still might be getting less and less worthwhile ...
Set Virtual Memory Computers use virtual memory to store inactive, open programs to free RAM for other programs. Virtual memory simulates RAM by extending the system memory to a hard drive cache file.
Memory is one of a very few elite electronic components essential to any electronic system. Modern electronics perform extraordinarily complex duties that would be impossible without memory. Your ...
Computer engineering researchers have developed software using two new techniques to help computer chip designers improve memory systems. The techniques rely on 'performance cloning,' which can ...
IBM Research approaches a technology breakthrough with non-volatile magnetic memory IBM scientists believe they are closing in on resolving the remaining limitations that have relegated magnetic ...
