As IC geometries shrink, the large, consolidated memory blocks within ICs are giving way to tens or even hundreds of smaller memory arrays distributed throughout each chip. These arrays serve as ...

Sensory memories are stored for a few seconds at most. They come from the five senses: hearing, vision, touch, smell, and taste. They are stored only for as long as the sense is being stimulated. They ...

Do you feel like you have the memory of an elephant? Or, on the contrary, do you forget your neighbor's first name as soon as their back is turned? This little historical test will not only tickle ...

DRAM manufacturers continue to demand cost-effective solutions for screening and process improvement amid growing concerns over defects and process variability, but meeting that demand is becoming ...

We tend to take our ability to remember things like faces, phone numbers, other people's names, and events for granted until they are impaired by memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease and other ...

Editor's note: In this third installment of a four-part series on debugging FPGA designs, author Brad Frieden explains how the MicroBlaze Trace Core (MTC) allows designers to trace both address and ...

Generic test and repair approaches to embedded memory have hit their limit. Smaller feature sizes, such as 130 nm and 90 nm, have made it possible to embed multiple megabits of memory into a single ...

The traditional processors designed for general-purpose applications struggle to meet the computing demands and power budgets of artificial intelligence (AI) or machine leaning (ML) applications.
