Ferroic materials such as ferromagnets and ferroelectrics underpin modern data storage, yet face limits: They switch slowly, or suffer from unstable polarization due to depolarizing fields ...

A long-running problem in the computer world is that DRAM is the fastest memory available but also volatile, so it can't hold onto its data when power is shut off. This makes it useless for data ...

A research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...

LONDON — Non-volatile memory technologies promise to break important ground at the International Solid State Circuits Conference, due to be held in San Francisco in February, as the technologies move ...

The term memory in a computer system refers to devices that store information in the form of chips. There are two main types of physical memory in a computer system, Random Access Memory (RAM) and ...

Computer memory has taken on many forms over the years, from mercury-based delay-line tubes to handwoven magnetic core. These days, volatile storage using semiconductors has become ubiquitous with ...

Researchers have developed a technique that leverages hardware and software to improve file system security for next-generation memory technologies called non-volatile memories (NVMs). The new ...

In recent days, Morgan Stanley downgraded computer hardware makers including HP, highlighting concerns about the impact of surging NAND and DRAM memory chip prices driven by artificial intelligence ...

The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

A KAIST research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...
