Magnetic Core memory was the RAM at the heart of many computer systems through the 1970s, and is undergoing something of a resurgence today since it is easiest form of memory for an enterprising ...

If you want read-only memory today, you might be tempted to use flash memory or, if you want old-school, maybe an EPROM. But there was a time when that wasn’t feasible. [Igor Brichkov] shows us how to ...

The term “memory wall” was first coined in the 1990s to describe memory bandwidth bottlenecks that were holding back CPU performance. The semiconductor industry helped address this memory wall through ...

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently declared that artificial intelligence (AI) is in its third wave, moving from perception and generation to reasoning. With the rise of agentic AI, now powered by ...

Artificial intelligence has raced ahead so quickly that the bottleneck is no longer how many operations a chip can perform, but how fast it can feed itself data. The long-feared “memory wall” is now ...

What if the future of artificial intelligence is being held back not by a lack of computational power, but by a far more mundane problem: memory? While AI’s computational capabilities have skyrocketed ...

Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the “Venado” supercomputer, which was hinted at back in April 2021 when Nvidia announced its plans for its first datacenter-class Arm server CPU and which was ...

Researchers propose low-latency topologies and processing-in-network as memory and interconnect bottlenecks threaten inference economic viability ...
