Write-through: all cache memory writes are written to main memory, even if the data is retained in the cache, such as in the example in Figure 4.11. A cache line can be in two states – valid or ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have designed a system where programs can have access to ad hoc optimally allocated cache memory. In a simulation test system with ...

Multiple PC OEMs are selling laptops outfitted with Intel Optane cache drives -- but they're improperly combining that information in ways that makes it seem as if the Optane cache drive represents ...

Optane Memory uses a "least recently used" (LRU) approach to determine what gets stored in the fast cache. All initial data reads come from the slower HDD storage, and the data gets copied over to the ...

How lossless data compression can reduce memory and power requirements. How ZeroPoint’s compression technology differs from the competition. One can never have enough memory, and one way to get more ...

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 ...

IBM Research has been working on new non-volatile magnetic memory for over two decades. Non-volatile memory is wonderful for retaining data without power, but it is extremely slow, and does not last ...

Memory is one of a very few elite electronic components essential to any electronic system. Modern electronics perform extraordinarily complex duties that would be impossible without memory. Your ...

Adding more RAM to a computer doesn't always result in a performance boost, which means that you may have to make the most of what you have. A computer that has enough RAM tends to run smoothly, ...
