AI infrastructure can't evolve as fast as model innovation. Memory architecture is one of the few levers capable of ...

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 ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...

One of the biggest impacts of Apple's switch from Intel to its own M-series silicon -- debuting with the M1 in the 2020 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini -- is faster, more stable, and more energy ...

AMD’s 7800X3D and 7950X3D hold the top spot in CPUs for gaming, not because they have the most cores or the highest clock speeds, but because they have the most cache. But what is CPU cache, anyway?

The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Compute, Memory and Storage Initiative (CMSI) has an active working group to create standards for computational storage. Computational storage is ...

The area of any part of a design contributes both to the silicon cost and to the power consumption. A simplistic following of the “A” in a processor IP vendor’s PPA numbers can be misleading. A ...
