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 ...

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 – ...

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 ...

SanDisk is one of the leading companies in NAND flash memory. Like other companies in the industry it has been supporting active research in emerging non-volatile solid storage technology, including ...

IBM Research has been working on new non-volatile magnetic memory for over two decades. Non-volatile memory is wonderful for retaining data without power, but it is extremely slow, and does not last ...
