Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new AI-assisted tool that helps computer architects boost ...

A cache is a special storage space for temporary files that makes a device, browser, or app run faster and more efficiently. After opening an app or website for the first time, a cache stashes files, ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

Large-scale applications, such as generative AI, recommendation systems, big data, and HPC systems, require large-capacity ...

Magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology that relies on the (relative) magnetization state of two ferromagnetic layers to store binary information. Throughout ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...

Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in large language models to 3.5 bits per channel, cutting memory consumption ...

Nvidia researchers have introduced a new technique that dramatically reduces how much memory large language models need to track conversation history — by as much as 20x — without modifying the model ...

Large language models (LLMs) aren’t actually giant computer brains. Instead, they are massive vector spaces in which the ...

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 ...
