Storage performance is never good enough. DRAM speeds are measured in nanoseconds, but is volatile/non-persistent, meanwhile, even the fastest non-volatile storage – such as Intel Optane/3D XPoint – ...

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 ...

With HPE’s announcement last week that it will offer storage-class memory (SCM) in its 3PAR and Nimble arrays, we have entered a new phase in the architecture of storage and a potential step-change in ...

Storage-class memory (SCM), RAM that has the ability to retain its contents like NAND flash memory but the speed of DRAM, will eventually supplant flash as the high-speed storage medium of choice.

UHS-II is no longer the fastest memory card standard available. Over the past few years, two newer formats have come to ...

IBM Research has been working on new non-volatile magnetic memory for over two decades. Non-volatile memory is wonderful for retaining data without power, but it is extremely slow, and does not last ...
