Samsung’s 3D V-NAND flash architecture increases capacity by layering 24 cells on top of each other (see the figure). The technology improves reliability by a factor of two to 10 while delivering ...

Most applications that require a microcontroller also require somemechanism to store settings that will be remembered even when power isremoved. For example, a radio that forgets its station presets ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems and architectures have emerged as pivotal components in modern computing, offering the combined benefits of data persistence and enhanced energy efficiency. With ...

At some point when developing embedded applications, you’re going to want to store unique values in non-volatile memory, values that can’t be fixed at compilation time. Many microcontrollers have a ...

Storage and memory are the two major holding areas for programs and data in a computer, tablet or smartphone, and their interplay is the fundamental architecture of computer processing. Unfortunately, ...

A research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...

A long-running problem in the computer world is that DRAM is the fastest memory available but also volatile, so it can't hold onto its data when power is shut off. This makes it useless for data ...

Ongoing innovation in semiconductor technologies, algorithms and data science are making it possible to incorporate some degree of AI inferencing capability in an increasing number of edge devices.

In the distant past, in techno years, semiconductor memories were discrete devices that stored information separately from other primary system functions. Over time, processors combined memory on-chip ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This is the third in a set of four blogs about projections for digital storage and memory for the following year that we have been ...
