Memory models offer the formal frameworks that define how operations on memory are executed in environments with concurrent processes. By establishing rules for the ordering and visibility of memory ...

Persistent memory (PM) used to be the norm when magnetic core memory was ubiquitous, but volatile DRAM now dominates main memory. While non-volatile memory (NVM) is used for booting and application ...

In the previous article, we left off with the basic storage model having its objects first existing as changed in the processor’s cache, then being aged into volatile DRAM memory, often with changes ...

The default for Intel Xeon Phi processors is to give every processor core equal access to every part of memory including the MCDRAM. That is certainly great for programs that use shared memory across ...

Typically, when you run a software program on your computer, mobile device or via a server in the cloud, you’re using volatile memory, or memory that doesn’t retain its contents when the power is off.

In modern CPU device operation, 80% to 90% of energy consumption and timing delays are caused by the movement of data between the CPU and off-chip memory. To alleviate this performance concern, ...

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations -- it's a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few ...
