Virtual memory is a valuable concept in computer architecture that allows you to run large, sophisticated programs on a computer even if it has a relatively small amount of RAM. A computer with ...

There is a discussion going on in one of the All Programmable Planet postings that started life as a discussion about the 8051 MCU, an architecture that is now 30 years old, but still one of the most ...

This month's Non-Volatile Memory Workshop (NVMW '17) has concluded, and it was truly a mind-expanding program, in more ways than one. Case in point: Stanford Professor H.S. Philip Wong presented The ...

Micron is challenging conventional computer architectures conceived decades ago with Automata, a highly parallel processor that can change its behavior to process the task at hand. The Automata ...

Most of us think of memory as a chamber of the mind, and assume that our capacity to remember is only as good as our brain. But according to some architectural theorists, our memories are products of ...
