Magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the (relative) magnetization state of two ferromagnetic layers to store binary information. Throughout ...

MIT researchers developed Attention Matching, a KV cache compaction technique that compresses LLM memory by 50x in seconds — ...

Nvidia's KV Cache Transform Coding (KVTC) compresses LLM key-value cache by 20x without model changes, cutting GPU memory ...

The memory hierarchy (including caches and main memory) can consume as much as 50% of an embedded system power. This power is very application dependent, and tuning caches for a given application is a ...

Though computers store all data to be manipulated off-chip in main memory (aka RAM), data required regularly by the processor is also temporarily stored in a die-stacked DRAM (dynamic random access ...

Developers of safety-critical software can take advantage of RTOS features like cache partitioning and slack scheduling to reduce worst-case execution time for critical tasks and boost overall CPU ...

One of the greatest challenges facing the designers of many-core processors is resource contention. The chart below visually lays out the problem of resource contention, but for most of us the idea is ...

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 ...

Flash memory manufacturer, SanDisk, announced that it had acquired FlashSoft, a provider of enterprise caching software. The company also announced that it has entered into a worldwide, exclusive ...

The latest Area-51 desktop from Alienware centers around AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D, an 8-core processor with 104MB of total cache designed for gaming workloads. Paired with an RTX 5080 graphics card, 64GB ...
