Gaps in the memory hierarchy have created openings for new types of memory, and there is no shortage of possibilities. It’s no secret that today’s memory chips and storage devices are struggling to ...

These are exciting times for the memory hierarchy in systems. New kinds of DRAM and non-volatile memories are becoming available to system architects to enhance the performance and responsiveness of ...

The announcement this week by Intel and Micron Technology of 3D XPoint memory, which will sit somewhere between DRAM and NAND flash in future systems, has everyone thinking about the architectural, ...

A new technical paper titled “The Future of Memory: Limits and Opportunities” was published by researchers at Stanford University and an independent researcher. “Memory latency, bandwidth, capacity, ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...
