The cost associated with moving data in and out of memory is becoming prohibitive, both in terms of performance and power, and it is being made worse by the data locality in algorithms, which limits ...

New paper technical titled “Benchmarking a New Paradigm: An Experimental Analysis of a Real Processing-in-Memory Architecture” led by researchers at ETH Zurich. Researchers provide a comprehensive ...

From a conceptual standpoint, the idea of embedding processing within main memory makes logical sense since it would eliminate many layers of latency between compute and memory in modern systems and ...

The ever-increasing demands of artificial intelligence (AI) mean concepts for memory that have been around for decades are getting renewed attention, and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd's recent ...

Virtual memory is a valuable concept in computer architecture that allows you to run large, sophisticated programs on a computer even if it has a relatively small amount of RAM. A computer with ...

In 1994, University of Virginia computer science professor emeritus William Wulf and his then-graduate student, Sally McKee, identified what would become a defining challenge in the field of computer ...

A researcher at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a new architecture for 3D stacked memory. It uses the hardware’s capacity for “processing in memory” to deliver 3D rendering ...
