Cache memory significantly reduces time and power consumption for memory access in systems-on-chip. Technologies like AMBA protocols facilitate cache coherence and efficient data management across CPU ...

I was thinking about how the PS4 uses GDDR5 instead of DDR3 for its' memory. Yes I know it has more bandwith then DDR3 does, but doesn't it cost way more? Besides the cost what are other downsides to ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

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 ...

We’re on the verge of a new era of computing that will likely see major changes to the data center, thanks to the growing dominance of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) ...

In the intricate world of modern chip architectures, the “memory wall” – the limitations posed by external DRAM accesses on performance and power consumption growing slower than the ability to compute ...

The system world would have been a simpler place if InfiniBand had fulfilled its original promise as a universal fabric interconnect for linking all manner of devices together within a system and ...

The chip industry is progressing rapidly toward 3D-ICs, but a simpler step has been shown to provide gains equivalent to a whole node advancement — extracting distributed memories and placing them on ...
