Cache, in its crude definition, is a faster memory which stores copies of data from frequently used main memory locations. Nowadays, multiprocessor systems are supporting shared memories in hardware, ...

In the most simple computer system architecture, all control lies with the CPU (Central Processing Unit). This means not only the execution of commands that affect the CPU’s internal register or cache ...

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...

Many people have heard the term cache coherency without fully understanding the considerations in the context of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, especially those using a network-on-chip (NoC). To ...

The year so far has been filled with news of Spectre and Meltdown. These exploits take advantage of features like speculative execution, and memory access timing. What they have in common is the fact ...

However, databases alone and cloud-based services, like serverless functions, that access them were not designed to handle ...

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 ...

The agentic AI revolution—or age of reasoning—demands memory architectures match persistent, contextual collaboration.

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everspin Technologies today announced that Buffalo Memory is introducing a new industrial SATA III SSD that incorporates Everspin’s Spin-Torque MRAM (ST-MRAM) as ...

The adoption of in-memory computing platforms has steadily increased over the past decade, growing in popularity as tra­ditional disk-based databases could no lon­ger provide the performance and ...
