Virtual memory is a valuable concept in computer architecture that allows you to run large, sophisticated programs on a computer even if it has a relatively small amount of RAM. A computer with ...
Google's decision to use Rust for new code in Android in order to reduce memory-related flaws appears to be paying off. Memory safety vulnerabilities in Android have been more than halved – a ...
Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...
The White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) urged tech companies today to switch to memory-safe programming languages, such as Rust, to improve software security by reducing the ...
Google's Chrome team is looking at heap scanning to reduce memory-related security flaws in Chrome's C++ codebase, but the technique creates a toll on memory – except when newer Arm hardware is used.
For decades, coders wrote critical systems in C and C++. Now they turn to Rust. Many software projects emerge because—somewhere out there—a programmer had a personal problem to solve. That’s more or ...
New memory-centric chip technologies are emerging that promise to solve the bandwidth bottleneck issues in today’s systems. The idea behind these technologies is to bring the memory closer to the ...
