The memory and storage hierarchy is a useful way of thinking about computer systems, and the dizzying array of memory options available to the system designer. Many different parameters characterize ...
Gaps in the memory hierarchy have created openings for new types of memory, and there is no shortage of possibilities. It’s no secret that today’s memory chips and storage devices are struggling to ...
The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...
In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...
In this video from DDN booth at SC18, Andrey Kudryavtsev from Intel presents: Reimagining the Datacenter Memory and Storage Hierarchy. Intel Optane DC persistent memory represents a new class of ...
The gap between the performance of processors, broadly defined, and the performance of DRAM main memory, also broadly defined, has been an issue for at least three decades when the gap really started ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The first physical conference I attended this year was the 2021 OCP Summit in San Jose, CA. There were exciting developments ...
