Computers normally store and process data in separate modules. But now researchers at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute have developed a method that allows logical operations to be performed ...

Future main memory systems will confront the scaling challenges posed by DRAM technology and should adapt themselves to use the emerging memory technologies like Phase Change Memory (PCM, or PRAM).

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, ...

The main processor (CPU, “Central Processing Unit”), the main memory (RAM, “Random-Access Memory”), and the dedicated graphics card with its graphics processor (GPU, “Graphics Processing Unit”) are ...

I was thinking about how the PS4 uses GDDR5 instead of DDR3 for its' memory. Yes I know it has more bandwith then DDR3 does, but doesn't it cost way more? Besides the cost what are other downsides to ...

There are three levels of Processor Cache viz; L1, L2, and L3. The more L2 and L3 cache your system has, the faster the data will be fetched, the faster the program will be executed, and the more ...
