The most common type of computer memory and generally available today in the form of DDR SDRAM (double data rate synchronous dynamic RAM) chips (see SDRAM). Most all volatile memory is dynamic RAM, ...

A fast memory technology that requires power to hold its content. Static RAM (SRAM, S-RAM) is used for high-speed registers, caches and relatively small memory banks such as a frame buffer on a ...

RAM (random access memory) is a component of every computer system, from tiny embedded controllers to enterprise servers. In the form of SRAM (static RAM) or DRAM (dynamic RAM), it’s where data is ...

As designs increase in complexity, the density of memories that they connect to has also increased. It is not uncommon to see gigabyte memories. Having large memories comes with its own set of ...

I was buying a new laptop the other day and had to make a choice between 4GB of memory and 8. I can remember how big a deal it was when a TRS-80 went from 4K (that’s .000004 GB, if you are counting) ...

Virtualization is the quest to increase the efficiency of our compute nodes, driving up CPU utilization by cramming more and more workloads into a single server. As disk gives way to Flash -- and ...

ASIC design teams face a growing problem. ASIC power-consumption estimates that take place before the design phase lack both scope and credibility. These shortcomings affect process, design, and IP ...

Today's wireless chip designers face a myriad of challenges in meeting the ever-expanding feature requirements of high-technology products while being constrained by power limitations imposed by ...
