Apple's UMA design -- a single, fixed pool of RAM integrated into the die with the CPU, GPU and NPU -- makes Mac and MacBook configuration choices a little different than it used to be.

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 ...

Yesterday, in Visual Memory LLC v. NVIDIA Corp., the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit once again issued the rare decision finding a computer-implemented invention (i.e., software ...

Computer engineering researchers have developed software using two new techniques to help computer chip designers improve memory systems. The techniques rely on 'performance cloning,' which can assess ...

Throughout the 1980’s and early 1990’s computer systems were bottlenecked by relatively slow CPU performance, thereby limiting what applications could do. Driven by Moore’s Law, transistor counts ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...

Few things are more frustrating than watching your computer grind to a halt just when you need it most. Here's how you can ...
