Modern computer systems have been built around the assumption that persistent storage is accessed via a slow, block-based interface. However, new byte-addressable, persistent memory technologies such ...

Non-volatile memories are not the main memory (RAM) in computers, tablets and smartphones. However, they can be the main memory in devices such as sensors, industrial controls, point-of-sale terminals ...

If you reduce systems down to their bare essentials, everything exists in those systems to manipulate data in memory, and like human beings, all that really exists for any of us is what is in memory.

As DRAM approaches scaling limits, there is significant industry investment in alternatives. An approach called persistent memory (PM) is emerging that is likely to influence enterprises in important ...

For decades, the goal has been to create a random access memory (RAM) that is non-volatile like flash storage but retains the speed and addressability of a RAM chip. Such technology changes the way ...

We have published a number of stories lately that talk about the innovative uses of Intel’s 3D XPoint Optane persistent memory modules, which are a key component of the company’s “Cascade Lake” Xeon ...

Suppose for a moment that you're an engineer designing a new 8051-based product. Not unexpectedly, the application's code size will greatly exceed the 64KB architectural limit of the 8051's program ...
