SAN JOSE, Calif.--The ability to cram more data into less space on a memory chip or a hard drive has been the crucial force propelling consumer electronics companies to make ever smaller devices. It ...

Micron is challenging conventional computer architectures conceived decades ago with Automata, a highly parallel processor that can change its behavior to process the task at hand. The Automata ...

Given the accuracy of Moore’s Law to the development of integrated circuits over the years, one would think that our present day period is no different from the past decades in terms of computer ...

To date, quantum computers have been implemented so that programming their operation was, in essence, hardwired into their essential structure. Although many useful demonstrations of quantum computing ...

Computer memory and storage have always followed the Law of Closet Space. No matter how much you have, you shortly discover that it isn’t enough. So it’s good news that scientists in Switzerland are ...

*160 terabytes … that’s the size of the world’s current largest single–memory computing system. Bearing in mind that a terabyte is equal to 1000 gigabytes, it’s unimaginable that such a computer ...

New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS) Researchers from IIT Guwahati have developed methods to evenly distribute accesses across computer systems’ overall memory capacity to reduce the wear-out pressure on ...

Architectures may allow or disallow unaligned memory access. While no special guidelines are required when unaligned memory access is allowed, if disallowed, the programmer must be careful. Ignoring ...

CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Design and evaluation of modern uniprocessor computing systems. Evaluation methodology/metrics and caveats, instruction set design, advanced pipelining, instruction level ...

Like computers, graphics cards use RAM to store active data -- and like PCs, in many cases, the more RAM available to a card, the better the card will perform. Video memory contains data about each ...
