In the face of rising emissions from data centres, researchers are turning to micro-explosions in glass, and using DNA to solve big data's big problem.

Concurrent data structures and memory management are critical components in the design of modern multi-core and parallel computing systems. These fields address the challenge of ensuring safe, ...

The rapid evolution of persistent memory (PM) technologies has spurred a significant shift in how data structures and algorithms are designed and implemented. Persistent memory, offering ...

Memories of all types are facing pressures as demands grow for greater capacity, lower cost, faster speeds, and lower power to handle the onslaught of new data being generated daily. Whether it’s well ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

Most people are familiar with data in the form of a spreadsheet, with labeled columns of different data types such as name, address, age, and so on. Databases work the same way, with each table laid ...

Seventy years after the invention of a data structure called a hash table, theoreticians have found the most efficient possible configuration for it. About 70 years ago, an engineer at IBM named Hans ...

Modern applications require databases that can constantly adapt to their real-time needs, introducing a variety of complexities when it comes to selecting the right database for the job. The era of ...
