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 ...

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 ...

Magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the (relative) magnetization state of two ferromagnetic layers to store binary information. Throughout ...

“Modern data-driven applications expose limitations of von Neumann architectures – extensive data movement, low throughput, and poor energy efficiency. Accelerators improve performance but lack ...

Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) has emerged as an alternative to the next-generation main memories in recent years. NVM has the advantages of non-volatility, byte addressability, and high density. However, ...

The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in 2018 exposed computer memory as an easy target for hackers to inject malicious code and steal data. The aftermath spurred the adoption of memory-safe chips ...
