In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

“Imagine a computation that produces a new bit of information in every step, based on the bits that it has computed so far. Over t steps of time, it may generate up to t new bits of information in ...

I was thinking about how the PS4 uses GDDR5 instead of DDR3 for its' memory. Yes I know it has more bandwith then DDR3 does, but doesn't it cost way more? Besides the cost what are other downsides to ...

What is the most expensive component that hyperscalers and cloud builders put into their X86 servers? It is the GPU accelerator, correct. So let’s ask this question another way: What is the most ...

How much memory is in your computer, and how fast is it? It’s an important thing to know. Having too little memory in your PC can result in performance issues if you have a lot of programs or browser ...

Cache memory significantly reduces time and power consumption for memory access in systems-on-chip. Technologies like AMBA protocols facilitate cache coherence and efficient data management across CPU ...
