System-on-chip (SoC) architects have a new memory technology, last level cache (LLC), to help overcome the design obstacles of bandwidth, latency and power consumption in megachips for advanced driver ...

The disk cache in OS X can sometimes use a fair amount of the system's RAM, and clearing it can help you figure out how much RAM your applications and system processes are using. Topher, an avid Mac ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everspin Technologies today announced that Buffalo Memory is introducing a new industrial SATA III SSD that incorporates Everspin’s Spin-Torque MRAM (ST-MRAM) as ...

The cache is soldered to the board, so yer out of luck there. In theory, the Aladdin 5 could cache up to 512, but the early chipsets had a flaw in the cache tag RAM that caused the 128 MB limitation.

Intel’s Optane Module will make a world of difference for users stuck with traditional hard drives. Those drives must be in higher-end Kaby Lake systems running Windows 10, though. Intel’s Optane ...

A Cache-Only Memory Architecture design (COMA) may be a sort of Cache-Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC- NUMA) design. not like in a very typical CC-NUMA design, in a COMA, each shared-memory ...
