Modern computer systems have been built around the assumption that persistent storage is accessed via a slow, block-based interface. However, new byte-addressable, persistent memory technologies such ...

If you reduce systems down to their bare essentials, everything exists in those systems to manipulate data in memory, and like human beings, all that really exists for any of us is what is in memory.

We have published a number of stories lately that talk about the innovative uses of Intel’s 3D XPoint Optane persistent memory modules, which are a key component of the company’s “Cascade Lake” Xeon ...

Non-volatile memories are not the main memory (RAM) in computers, tablets and smartphones. However, they can be the main memory in devices such as sensors, industrial controls, point-of-sale terminals ...

Even though a computer’s memory map looks pretty smooth and very much byte-addressable at first glance, the same memory on a hardware level is a lot more bumpy. An essential term a developer may come ...

Nothing says HPC like having the performance cake and eating it too. In this episode, we drill down on what Intel is doing with their cool Optane memory tech, shooting for speeds that remind you of ...

Almost all AVR microcontrollers have built-in Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM).The advantage of EEPROM is that even when the microcontroller is turned off, data stored in ...
