In a brilliant PhD thesis, Understanding and Improving the Latency of DRAM-Based Memory Systems, Kevin K. Chang of CMU tackles the DRAM issue, and suggests some novel architectural enhancements to ...

It may not have been noticed by many IT professionals, but recently Intel sold its Nand flash and solid-state drive (SSD) manufacturing assets to South Korean firm SK Hynix for $9bn. The interesting ...

MUNICH–Infineon Technologies AG today announced samples of 256-megabit reduced latency DRAMs, which are designed for high-speed networking and fast-cache applications. These memories are based on ...

As the workhorse of semiconductor memory, DRAM holds a unique place in the industry thanks to its large storage capacity and ability to feed data and program code to the host processor quickly. Lately ...

Conventional wisdom says that trying to attach system memory to the PCI-Express bus is a bad idea if you care at all about latency. The further the memory is from the CPU, the higher the latency gets, ...

The good old DRAM has served us since the dawn of microprocessors. A single transistor, properly made, can store (for a few microseconds) a bit. Use a few million of them, you can store a few ...

It's a new unit focused on robotics and automotive systems. Arm also split into three core groups, cloud and AI and edge ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — With instruction-level parallelism out of fashion and thread-level parallelism the buzzword du jour, Intel Corp. is proposing “pseudo-parallelism” as the next step in microprocessor ...

Transformative Micron MRDIMMs power memory-intensive applications like AI and HPC with up to 256GB capacity at 40% lower latency BOISE, Idaho, July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc.

“Providing a memory system with two types of DRAM (e.g., one high-density and one low-latency, high-bandwidth) may permit a highly energy-efficient operation, which may make the memory system suitable ...
