A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

Nvidia researchers developed dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), a technique that compresses the KV cache in large language models by up to 8x while maintaining reasoning accuracy — and it can be ...

Gain insight into the CXL specification. Learn how CXL supports dynamic multiplexing between a rich set of protocols that includes I/O (CLX.io, based on PCIe), caching (CXL.cache), and memory (CXL.mem ...

The Google Play Store is home to all sorts of fancy apps and games. Need to seamlessly transfer files from your phone to your laptop wirelessly? You can use Pushbullet for that. Want an app to manage ...

Adaptec has announced a RAID controller series that uses NAND and Supercapacitors to protect data in cache in case of failure. Will Adaptec stand alone? John, a senior partner at Evaluator Group, has ...

In the world of computing, one of the unexpected things to marvel at is the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing in data centers. These and other forces are driving ...
