Magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the (relative) magnetization state of two ferromagnetic layers to store binary information. Throughout ...
They also would like to use low-leakage transistors to reduce the refresh power demands of large memory arrays. Amorphous oxide semiconductors like IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) offer acceptable ...
One of the greatest challenges facing the designers of many-core processors is resource contention. The chart below visually lays out the problem of resource contention, but for most of us the idea is ...
The adoption of in-memory computing platforms has steadily increased over the past decade, growing in popularity as tra­ditional disk-based databases could no lon­ger provide the performance and ...
System-on-chip (SoC) architects have a new memory technology, last level cache (LLC), to help overcome the design obstacles of bandwidth, latency and power consumption in megachips for advanced driver ...
This sponsored post from Intel explores ways to find and eliminate memory bottlenecks that could be limiting your applications’ performance. Often, it’s not enough to parallelize and vectorize an ...
Flash memory manufacturer, SanDisk, announced that it had acquired FlashSoft, a provider of enterprise caching software. The company also announced that it has entered into a worldwide, exclusive ...
A team of researchers has revived Linux page cache attacks, demonstrating that they are not as impractical as previously ...
If your phone feels sluggish or takes longer to open apps, upgrading to one of the best Android phones for battery life is an option. A simpler (and cost-effective) solution might also do the trick: ...
