A new technical paper titled “Managed-Retention Memory: A New Class of Memory for the AI Era” was published by researchers at Microsoft. “AI clusters today are one of the major uses of High Bandwidth ...

Memory has been a key limiting factor in the design of processor-based systems since, well, forever. The number of weird and wonderful storage systems is actually pretty large, although many designers ...

Chipmakers make abundant use of two very different functional classes of memory in their products. For operational use (main/primary memory) where speed is critical, DRAM and SRAM are employed, ...

This has mostly been dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and the amount you can attach to a computer is limited. Also, pretty much since the dawn of transistor-based CPUs, we've also had static ...

With HPE’s announcement last week that it will offer storage-class memory (SCM) in its 3PAR and Nimble arrays, we have entered a new phase in the architecture of storage and a potential step-change in ...

Storage performance is never good enough. DRAM speeds are measured in nanoseconds, but is volatile/non-persistent, meanwhile, even the fastest non-volatile storage – such as Intel Optane/3D XPoint – ...

Hewlett-Packard and SanDisk today announced an agreement to jointly develop “Storage Class Memory” (SCM) that could replace DRAM and would be 1,000 times faster than NAND flash. The two companies will ...
