The term memory in a computer system refers to devices that store information in the form of chips. There are two main types of physical memory in a computer system, Random Access Memory (RAM) and ...

With newer, bigger programs and more apps multitasking simultaneously, the answer to making any system run faster, from handheld to super computer, was always just to add more DRAM. . . and more, and ...

Typically refers to main memory (RAM), but may also refer to ROM and flash memory. In either case, internal memory generally refers to chips rather than disks or tapes. Some vendors call their disk ...

Innovations advance power efficiency and performance for future computing products Los Altos, California, United States - May 26, 2009 - Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), one of the world's premier ...

In this paper, the authors analyze the trade-offs in architecting stacked DRAM either as part of main memory or as a hardware-managed cache. Using stacked DRAM as part of main memory increases the ...

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, ...

New non-volatile memory devices store information using different physical mechanisms from those employed in today's memories and could achieve substantial ...

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 ...

Flash storage is one of the main components that makes low power electronics so flexible. Unlike common DRAM, which needs constant refreshing in order to retain its contents, flash memory will stay ...
